Technical tradeoffs

  • Lowering the architecture version requirement for tests makes them applicable to a wider range of compatible hardware/configurations.
  • Ensuring test accuracy requires keeping pace with evolving architecture specifications.
  • This change is specific to the test suite and does not affect the core assembler functionality beyond test coverage.

[committed] aarch64: Adjust architecture version for mpamv2 tests

This commit adjusts the architecture version requirement for mpamv2 tests in the binutils gas test suite. Armv9.3a now officially permits the use of mpamv2, so the tests are updated to reflect this newer architecture version, lowering the minimum requirement.
