Add recvmmsg & sendmmsg syscall number for loongarch64 by zhaixiaojuan · Pull Request #13097 · netty/netty (original) (raw)

I have loongarch64 PR at Brotli4j also but I'm confused about whether to merge or not. The architecture is very new and very few distros support it. Tools and documentation are below average quality.

What are your take guys? Should we really support this in Java or we should wait for it to become more mature?

The LoongArch architecture (LoongArch) is an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that has a RISC style.
Documentations:
ISA: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html
ABI: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-ELF-ABI-EN.html
More docs can be found at: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/README-EN.html

At present, the debian community has begun to support the loongarch64 architecture (https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/loong64), and communities including golang, llvm, and glibc have received loongarch64-related PRs. Although loongarch64 is a new architecture, it is currently used by a growing number of customers. It will be convenient for people to use after being merged.
I think that all architectures are evolving, and even for some mature architectures, there may be some changes.
