How to determine ARMv8 features at runtime on iOS?

问题


I am trying to determine when optional ARMv8 cpu features are available on iOS at runtime. On OS X desktops, like i686, x86_64, PPC and PPC64 we can use sysctl. See, for example, PR 3108, SIGILL-free processor capabilities detection on MacOS X.

The "SIGILL-free processor capabilities" part is important because SIGILL-based feature probes corrupt memory on Apple platforms. At least three projects I follow have had problems with it, including Crypto++ and OpenSSL. Another part of the problem is questions like Does Apple Clang lack CRC32 for ARMv8/Aarch64 under Xcode 10?, where core ARMv8 features that should be present seem to be missing or unsupported.

I've looked for the iOS equivalent of the OS X desktops but I cannot find them (see below).

We really prefer to avoid Apple frameworks like CommonCrypto. We try hard to stay platform agnostic. We don't use CommonCrypto, but I would consider using an Apple functions like below if there's nothing agnostic available (I'm making them up):

BOOL CCHasAes();
BOOL CCHasSHA1();
BOOL CCHasSHA2();

Does Apple publish a method to determine cpu features at runtime?

How do we determine cpu features at runtime on iOS?


These may be related, but I'm not sure if that's the best we have, or if that's the only thing we have, or if there are other ways to approach it.

  • Calling “sysctlbyname(…)” with “hw.machine” flag in iOS9.
  • How to get device make and model on iOS?

Below I am looking for CRC-32, CRC-32C, AES, PMULL, SHA1 and SHA2 features. I don't see any hits that resemble what I am looking for. Apple supports ARMv8 since Xcode 7, so 8.2 supports the CPU.

As far as I know Apple is going to remove the support to 32-bit chips this year. Since Apple A7 processors Apple uses ArmV8-A cores for its SoCs...so maybe you cannot choose them with the new APIs because you have nothing to choose...Apple usually is cryptic about those kind of things and uses automatic switching for certain features on mobile platforms. However basically every iOS 11 SoC will have the same basic hardware features except for the number of cores and the energy management (which is different for SoC >= A10 Fusion). I was searching for the same thing some month ago but apparently on iOS you have to be in the hands of the OS.
