Public bug reported:
[Impact]
gcc-5 doesn't know about thunderx2 cores, so optimization flags for this target
will fail. While it is possible to generate the same code by referencing the
previous name of the core (vulcan), that is non-obvious to the end user.
[Test Case]
gcc-5 hello.c -o hello -mcpu=thunderx2t99
hello.c:1:0: error: unknown value ‘thunderx2t99’ for -mcpu
#include <stdio.h>
^
[Regression Risk]
The patchset is basically a rename of the "vulcan" core to "thunderx2t99". It
retains backwards compatibility with the "vulcan" name to avoid regressing
users that may already be using that name.
** Affects: gcc-5 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
