 .Nd Architecture-specific details
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 Differences between CPU architectures and platforms supported by
 .Fx .
 .Ss Introduction
 If not explicitly mentioned, sizes are in bytes.
+The architecture details in this document apply to
+.Fx 10.0
+and later, unless otherwise noted.
 .Pp
 FreeBSD uses flat address space for program execution, where
 pointers have the same binary representation as
 .Vt unsigned long
 variables, and
 .Vt uintptr_t
 and
 .Vt size_t
 types are synonyms for
 .Vt unsigned long .
 .Pp
 In order to maximize compatibility with future pointer integrity mechanisms,
 manipulations of pointers as integers should be performed via
 .Vt uintptr_t
 or
 .Vt intptr_t
 and no other types.
 In particular,
 .Vt long
 and
 .Vt ptrdiff_t
 should be avoided.
 .Pp
 On some architectures, e.g.
 .Dv sparc64 ,
 .Dv powerpc
 and AIM variants of
 .Dv powerpc64 ,
 the kernel uses a separate address space.
 On other architectures, kernel and a user mode process share a
 single address space.
 The kernel is located at the highest addresses.
 .Pp
 On each architecture, the main user mode thread's stack starts near
 the highest user address and grows down.
+.Pp
+.Fx
+architecture support varies by release.
+This table shows the first
+.Fx
+release to support each architecture, and, for discontinued
+architectures, the final release.

 .Ss Type sizes
 All FreeBSD architectures use some variant of the ELF (see
 .Xr elf 5 )
 .Sy Application Binary Interface
 (ABI) for the machine processor.
 All supported ABIs can be divided into two groups:
 .Bl -tag -width "Dv ILP32"
 .It Dv ILP32
 .Vt int ,
 .Vt long ,
 .Vt void *
 types machine representations all have 4-byte size.
 .It Dv LP64
 .Vt int
 type machine representation uses 4 bytes,
 while
 .Vt long
 and
 .Vt void *
 are 8 bytes.
 .El
 Compilers define
 .Dv _LP64
 symbol when compiling for an
 .Dv LP64
 ABI.
 .Pp
 Some machines support more that one FreeBSD ABI.
 Typically these are 64-bit machines, where the
 .Dq native
 .Dv LP64
 execution environment is accompanied by the
 .Dq legacy
 .Dv ILP32
 environment, which was historical 32-bit predecessor for 64-bit evolution.
 Examples are:
 .Bl -column -offset indent "powerpc64" "Sy ILP32 counterpart"
 .It Sy LP64        Ta Sy ILP32 counterpart
 .It Dv amd64       Ta Dv i386
 .It Dv powerpc64   Ta Dv powerpc
 .It Dv mips64*     Ta Dv mips*
 .El
 .Dv arm64
 currently does not support execution of
 .Dv armv6
 binaries, even if the CPU implements
 .Dv AArch32
 execution state.
 .Pp
 On all supported architectures:
 .Bl -column -offset -indent "long long" "Size"
 .It Sy Type Ta Sy Size
 .It short Ta 2
 .It int Ta 4
 .It long Ta sizeof(void*)
 .It long long Ta 8
 .It float Ta 4
 .It double Ta 8
 .El
 Integers are represented as two-complement.
 Alignment of integer and pointer types is natural, that is,
 the address of the variable must be congruent to zero modulo type size.
 .Pp
 Machine-dependent type sizes:
 .Bl -column -offset indent "Sy Architecture" "Sy void *" "Sy long double" "Sy time_t"
 .It Sy Architecture Ta Sy void * Ta Sy long double Ta Sy time_t
 .It amd64       Ta 8 Ta 16 Ta 8

 .It riscv64     Ta 8 Ta 16 Ta 8
 .It riscv64sf   Ta 8 Ta 16 Ta 8
 .It sparc64     Ta 8 Ta 16 Ta 8

 variants of powerpc.

+.Fx 11.0 ,
+armv6 used the softfp ABI even though it supported only processors
+with a floating point unit.
 .Ss Predefined Macros
 The compiler provides a number of predefined macros.
 Some of these provide architecture-specific details and are explained below.
 Other macros, including those required by the language standard, are not
 included here.
