CONFIG_ARMV8_A
¶
(No prompt – not directly user assignable.)
Type: bool
Help¶
This option signifies the use of an ARMv8-A processor implementation.
From https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile: The Armv8-A architecture introduces the ability to use 64-bit and 32-bit Execution states, known as AArch64 and AArch32 respectively. The AArch64 Execution state supports the A64 instruction set, holds addresses in 64-bit registers and allows instructions in the base instruction set to use 64-bit registers for their processing. The AArch32 Execution state is a 32-bit Execution state that preserves backwards compatibility with the Armv7-A architecture and enhances that profile so that it can support some features included in the AArch64 state. It supports the T32 and A32 instruction sets.
