From c0e9afc0da6cb0f11497e5ea83377b3c451450e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:51:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1332960678-11879-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: H.
