[PATCH 2/3] rust: arch/um: Disable FP/SIMD instruction to match x86

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The kernel disables all SSE and similar FP/SIMD instructions on
x86-based architectures (partly because we shouldn't be using floats in
the kernel, and partly to avoid the need for stack alignment, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383 )

UML does not do the same thing, which isn't in itself a problem, but
does add to the list of differences between UML and "normal" x86 builds.

In addition, there was a crash bug with LLVM < 15 / rustc < 1.65 when
building with SSE, so disabling it fixes rust builds with earlier
compiler versions, see:
