[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: autoselect optimal -mcpu= flag by platform

Arnd Bergmann arnd at arndb.de
Wed May 2 22:13:29 EST 2007


We can choose the -mcpu= gcc flags for compiling the kernel
based on the platform that we build for. In case of multiplatform
kernels, this chooses a setting for a common subset.

When using a platform type that can use different CPUs, a
new option CONFIG_PPC_CPU_SELECTION can be enabled to select
more specifically which CPUs the kernel will be able to
run on.

This replaces the CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY option with an much more
generic approach.

Also, when CONFIG_PPC_CPU_SELECTION is set, it is now possible
to select a CPU to tune for by means of the -mtune= option.

I tried to be very careful when coding the specific rules into
the Kconfig language, but it would be good to have a few
people sanity-checking them.
