Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] LoongArch: Set e_flags to 0x40 of ELF while using new relocations.
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2022 16:28:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <83e9a5ac-c509-066b-07f6-cb3ec4583e48@xen0n.name> (raw)

Hi,

Overall this is going in the right direction (finally!) and implementing 
the correct behavior, but a few small nits remain.

Also, @xry111 WDYT?

Rewritten into (somewhat more) proper English for you, also we have 
another significant discussion thread that you hadn't mentioned:

```
Subject: LoongArch: Update ELF e_flags handling according to specification.

Update handling of e_flags according to the documentation update [1]
(discussions [2][3]).

Object file bitness is now represented in the EI_CLASS byte. The e_flags
field is now interpreted as follows:

e_flags[2:0]: Base ABI modifier

- 0x1: soft-float
- 0x2: single-precision hard-float
- 0x3: double-precision hard-float

e_flags[7:6]: ELF object ABI version

- 0x0: v0
- 0x1: v1

(Tip: next time when writing commit messages (or in fact anything) in 
English, please bear in mind that Chinese is a "topic-prominent" 
language [99] unlike English, meaning the idiomatic sentence pattern is 
usually different. In general people can still grasp the meaning but 
will probably have a headache in trying to do so...)

We know this cycle is 2.40 so directly mention that?

Wait what, are we still carrying the old-world defaults for the 
interpreter path here? I know it's harmless because in fact it gets 
overridden by gcc and glibc, but I'd suggest fixing it in a separate 
patch later for consistency.

Oh please no more MIPS "ASE"s. It's "Base ABI modifier" in the docs...

I'd bikeshed a little and suggest "EF_LOONGARCH_OBJABI_foo" because it's 
actually "ELF object file ABI v1" and not "ELF ABI object v1".
