commit: c0e9afc0da6cb0f11497e5ea83377b3c451450e0 From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:51:17 -0700 Subject: x86: Use -mno-avx when available
On gccs that support AVX it's a good idea to disable that too, similar to how SSE2, SSE1 etc. are already disabled. This prevents the compiler from generating AVX ever implicitely. No failure observed, just from review. [ hpa: Marking this for urgent and stable, simply because the patch will either have absolutely no effect *or* it will avoid potentially very hard to debug failures. ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: H.
