The latest Loongson processors (branded Loongson 3A5000 for desktop, 3B5000 for workstation and server, and 3C5000L for server) have moved away from MIPS to a new RISC architecture named "LoongArch". Its design learnt some traits from MIPSr6 and RISC-V I think, but it's not a simple MIPS variant and will need a new port for GCC. A manual of LoongArch basic instructions is at https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html. LoongArch also have 128 and 256 bit vector insturctions, but the manual is not published yet. A team from Loongson is working on the port, the (experimental) source code is available at https://github.com/loongson/gcc/commits/loongarch-12. It's not ready for upstream reviewing yet. For "legacy" Loongson processors using MIPS, I suggest to keep the support as a MIPS extension. I'll try to keep it in an "usable" state (i. e. fix, or at least workaround ICE and bad assemble code like this). If one day we can't maintain it anymore we'd have to sadly deprecate and remove Loongson MMI support. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
