Anton Kolesov 10045478d9 [ARC] Allow CPU to be enforced via disassemble_info options Currently print_insn_arc relies on BFD mach and ELF private headers to distinguish between various ARC architectures. Sometimes those values are not correct or available, mainly in the case of debugging targets without and ELF file available. Changing a BFD mach is not a problem for the debugger, because this is a generic BFD field, and GDB, for example, already sets it according to information provided in XML target description or specified via GDB 'set arch' command. However, things are more complicated for ELF private headers, since it requires existing of an actual ELF file. To workaround this problem this patch allows CPU model to be specified via disassemble info options. If CPU is specified in options, then it will take a higher precedence than whatever might be specified in ELF file. This is mostly needed for ARC EM and ARC HS, because they have the same "architecture" (mach) ARCv2 and differ in their private ELF headers. Other ARC architectures can be distinguished between each other purely via "mach" field. Proposed disassemble option format is "cpu=<CPU>", where CPU can be any valid ARC CPU name as supported by GAS. Note that this creates a seeming redundancy with objdump -m/--architecture option, however -mEM and -mHS still result in "ARCv2" architecture internally, while -Mcpu={HS,EM} would have an actual effect on disassembler. opcodes/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Anton Kolesov <anton.kolesov@synopsys.com> * arc-dis.c (enforced_isa_mask): Declare. (cpu_types): Likewise. (parse_cpu_option): New function. (parse_disassembler_options): Use it. (print_insn_arc): Use enforced_isa_mask. (print_arc_disassembler_options): Document new options. binutils/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Anton Kolesov <anton.kolesov@synopsys.com> * doc/binutils.texi: Document new cpu=... disassembler options for ARC.		9 years ago
