RISC-V/AArch64: disable CPU features detection #25901
This PR is the first step in fixing current issues with NEON/RVV, FP16, BF16 and other CPU features on AArch64 and RISC-V platforms.
On AArch64 and RISC-V platforms we usually have the platform set by default in the toolchain when we compile it or in the cmake toolchain file or in CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS by user. Then, there are two ways to set platform options: a) "-mcpu=<some_cpu>" ; b) "-march=<arch description>" (e.g. "rv64gcv"). Furthermore, there are no similar "levels" of optimizations as for x86_64, instead we have features (RVV, FP16,...) which can be enabled or disabled. So, for example, if a user has "rv64gc" set by the toolchain and we want to enable RVV. Then we need to somehow parse their current feature set and append "v" (vector optimizations) to this string. This task is quite hard and the whole procedure is prone to errors.
I propose to use "CPU_BASELINE=DETECT" by default on AArch64 and RISC-V platforms. And somehow remove other features or make them read-only/detect-only, so that OpenCV wouldn't add any extra "-march" flags to the default configuration. We would rely only on the flags provided by the compiler and cmake toolchain file. We can have some predefined configurations in our cmake toolchain files.
Changes made by this PR:
- `CMakeLists.txt`:
- use `CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING` instead of `CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` to detect cross-compilation. This might be useful in cases of native compilation with a toolchain file
- removed obsolete variables `ENABLE_NEON` and `ENABLE_VFPV3`, the first one have been turned ON by default on AArch64 platform which caused setting `CPU_BASELINE=NEON`
- raise minimum cmake version allowed to 3.7 to allow using `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_INIT` in toolchain files
- added separate files with arch flags for native compilation on AArch64 and RISC-V, these files will be used in our toolchain files and in regular cmake
- use `DETECT` as default value for `CPU_BASELINE` also allow `NATIVE`, warn user if other values were used (only for AArch64 and RISC-V)
- for each feature listed in `CPU_DISPATCH` check if corresponding `CPU_${opt}_FLAGS_ON` has been provided, warn user if it is empty (only for AArch64 and RISC-V)
- use `CPU_BASELINE_DISABLE` variable to actually turn off macros responsible for corresponding features even if they are enabled by compiler
- removed Aarch64 feature merge procedure (it didn't support `-mcpu` and built-in `-march`)
- reworked AArch64 and two RISC-V cmake toolchain files (does not affect Android/OSX/iOS/Win):
- use `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_INIT` to set compiler flags
- use variables `ENABLE_BF16`, `ENABLE_DOTPROD`, `ENABLE_RVV`, `ENABLE_FP16` to control `-march`
- AArch64: removed other compiler and linker flags
- `-fdata-sections`, `-fsigned-char`, `-Wl,--no-undefined`, `-Wl,--gc-sections` - already set by OpenCV
- `-Wa,--noexecstack`, `-Wl,-z,noexecstack`, `-Wl,-z,relro`, `-Wl,-z,now` - can be enabled by OpenCV via `ENABLE_HARDENING`
- `-Wno-psabi` - this option used to disable some warnings on older ARM platforms, shouldn't harm
- ARM: removed same common flags as for AArch64, but left `-mthumb` and `--fix-cortex-a8`, `-z nocopyreloc`
* cmake: don't ignore Python from PATH environment variable
- this breaks selection between 32/64-bit Python
- this breaks Anaconda/Conda environments
- it is not the CMake default behavior, expected by many projects
* cmake: add Python version check, fallback path on CMake 3.12+
* cmake: drop Python 2.6, allow version selection for Python 3.x
If both Python 2 and Python 3 are found, then build bindings for both of
them during the build process. Currently, one version of Python is
detected automatically, and building for the other requires changes the
CMake config.
The largest chunk of this change generalizes OpenCVDetectPython.cmake to
find both a Python 2 and Python 3 version of Python. Secondly, the
opencv_python module is split into two modules, opencv_python2 and
opencv_python3. Both are built from the same source. but for different
versions of Python.
Update to cmake files for to include minimum versions, and tidy up gtk operation.
Files updated:
CMakeLists.txt:
WITH_GTK now uses Gtk3 by default. If not found then Gtk2 is used.
WITH_GTK_2_X forces Gtk2.x use
cmake/OpenCVFindLibsGUI.cmake
Updated selection logic to implement methodology described above.
Implemented warning if Gtk3 not found (and not overridden)
Implemented error if Gtk does not meet minimum required version
cmake/OpenCVMinDepVersions.cmake
Added minimum Gtk version of 2.18.0
