From dca99a38bccceda9e079d4c95abefbd9028605fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 16:29:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86-64: Use -mtune=generic for generic kernels The upcomming gcc 4.2 got a new option -mtune=generic to tune code for both common AMD and Intel CPUs. Use this option when available for generic kernels. On x86-64 it is used with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU. On i386 it is enabled with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC. It won't affect the base line CPU support in any ways and also not the minimum supported CPU.
