[PATCH] uml: reuse i386 cpu-specific tuning
Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for
|
|
|
|
optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on
|
|
|
|
all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
|
|
|
|
"386" here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
|
|
|
|
the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
|
|
|
|
a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
|
|
|
|
- "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI
|
2008-04-20 22:47:55 +02:00
|
|
|
486DLC/DLC2, and UMC 486SX-S. Only "386" kernels will run on a 386

[PATCH] uml: reuse i386 cpu-specific tuning
Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

[PATCH] uml: reuse i386 cpu-specific tuning
Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

|
|
Old PentiumPro multiprocessor systems had errata that could cause memory
|
|
|
|
operations to violate the x86 ordering standard in rare cases. Enabling this
|
|
|
|
option will attempt to work around some (but not all) occurances of
|
|
|
|
this problem, at the cost of much heavier spinlock and memory barrier
|
|
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say n here. Even distro kernels should think twice before enabling
|
|
|
|
this: there are few systems, and an unlikely bug.

[PATCH] uml: reuse i386 cpu-specific tuning
Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

Debuggers may use it to collect an execution trace of the debugged
