aarch64: Suggest an -mcpu option when user passes CPU name to -march
This small patch helps users who confuse -march and -mcpu on AArch64. Sometimes users pass -march with a CPU name, where they most likely wanted to use -mcpu, which would select the right architecture features *and* tune for their desired CPU. Currently we'll just error out with an unkown architecture message and list the valid architecture options. With this patch we check if their string matches a known CPU and suggest they use an -mcpu option instead. So compiling with -march=neoverse-n1 will now give the error: cc1: error: unknown value 'neoverse-n1' for '-march' cc1: note: valid arguments are: armv8-a armv8.1-a armv8.2-a armv8.3-a armv8.4-a armv8.5-a armv8.6-a armv8.7-a armv8.8-a armv8-r armv9-a cc1: note: did you mean '-mcpu=neoverse-n1'? Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu. gcc/ChangeLog: * config/aarch64/aarch64.cc (aarch64_validate_march): Check if invalid arch string is a valid -mcpu string and emit hint. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/aarch64/spellcheck_10.c: New test.
