+
+``ARMClang`` cpu/arch compile and link flags must be set explicitly.
+
+CMake 3.20 and lower automatically maps the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR`
+variable and an undocumented ``CMAKE_SYSTEM_ARCH`` to compile and link options
+for ``ARMClang``. For example, the ``-mcpu=cortex-m33`` flag is added when
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` equals ``cortex-m33``. CMake requires
+projects to set either variable or it raises a fatal error. However, the
+project may need to additionally specify CPU features using e.g.
+``-mcpu=cortex-m33+nodsp``, conflicting with the ``-mcpu=cortex-m33`` added
+by CMake. This results in either link errors or unusable binaries.
+
+CMake 3.21 and above prefer instead to not add any cpu/arch compile and link
+flags automatically. Instead, projects must specify them explicitly.
+This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy requires projects that use ``ARMClang``
+to set either :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` or ``CMAKE_SYSTEM_ARCH``
+and it automatically adds a compile option ``-mcpu=`` or ``-march=`` and
+a link option ``--cpu=`` based on those variables. The ``NEW`` behavior
+does not add compile or link options, and projects are responsible for
+setting correct options.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.21. CMake version |release|
+warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
