2.6.13/14 x86 Makefile - Pentiums penalized ?

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

 



In arch/i386/makefile we have :
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += -march=i686 $(call cc-option,-mtune=pentium2) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += -march=i686 $(call cc-option,-mtune=pentium3) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += -march=i686 $(call cc-option,-mtune=pentium3) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += -march=i686 $(call cc-option,-mtune=pentium4)

According to the gcc 3.x doc, the -mtune is not avaliable for i686
and, indeed, with 3.3.5 no -mtune is generated/used (make V=1).

This, of course, heavily penalizes P4's (the notorious inc/dec).
