[PATCH v2] Kconfig: default to CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for gcc >= 10

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

 



GCC 10 appears to have changed -O2 in order to make compilation time
faster when using -flto, seemingly at the expense of performance, in
particular with regards to how the inliner works. Since -O3 these days
shouldn't have the same set of bugs as 10 years ago, this commit
defaults new kernel compiles to -O3 when using gcc >= 10.
