Unfortunately, NAK. This is considered an antisocial behavior for a BSP in the Yocto Project world. And the performance benefit is questionable with 1%-2%, if at all.
The proper place for any extra optimization tunes is in a distro config. Maybe even by end customer's final product, not a reference distro. Consider a distro that supports multiple HW platforms and uses multiple BSPs besides meta-ti - YoE, AGL, etc. You do want a common denominator tunes in order to get the most binary re-use across the platforms. For example, AGL goes to some extreme lengths to override such custom tunes set by misbehaving BSPs and it's quite ugly. And moreover, we've gone through this motion in the past many years ago when we had our ARMv7 platforms set to their corresponding cortex-a8/a9/a15 tunes by default, but eventually ended up setting a common ARMv7 tune: DEFAULTTUNE ?= "armv7athf-neon" So, you should either leave the current arch-arm64.inc inclusion as is, or if you insist on including tune-cortexa72-cortexa53.inc, set the default tune back to plain aarch64: DEFAULTTUNE ?= "aarch64" On Thu, Feb 15, 2024 at 03:26:13PM -0600, Andrew Davis via lists.yoctoproject.org wrote: > All current K3 devices use either A53 or A72.
