Yes, using cortex-strings as the bridge is indeed the preferred way. I am
asking which strategy do you see:
- Adding ifunc variants and add them as default if system advertise SVE
support.
- Or adding as an extra option (as Szabolcs has proposed sometime ago
for LSE), where one would need to build and extra glibc library and
loader will select it if the case.
When bringing them to glibc, I would use ifuncs. SVE is isolatable to a few
routines.
LSE becomes scattered throughout libc, which is why an extra binary was
proposed. Although for LSE it might work just as well to pull the atomic
operations out to helper functions and ifunc those as well. It really all
depends on the relative costs.
Amen,.
