Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:06:39 -0700 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 <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1332960678-11879-1-git-send-email-andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: H.
