Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] ARM: rust: Enable Rust support for ARMv4T
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 22:31:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013203140.31741-6-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013203140.31741-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com>

The armv5te target emits clz and blx, which ARMv4T lacks. Use rustc's
armv4t-unknown-linux-gnueabi target for CPU_32v4T. A combined ARMv4T and
ARMv5 kernel then uses ARMv4T code for both C and Rust.

Plain ARMv4 remains excluded because rustc has no matching Linux target.
This also depends on the preceding 16-bit xchg() support for pre-ARMv6
CPUs.

Tested the Rust samples, KUnit suites and doctests in QEMU sx1 (ARM925T)
with omap1_defconfig and on a Microchip SAM9X75 Curiosity board with
at91_dt_defconfig.
