Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] arch/Config.in.x86: add support for x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4
Date: Sun,  9 Jan 2022 09:01:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220109080124.2271241-2-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220109080124.2271241-1-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>

In the face of the vast amount of x86-64 CPU architecture variants,
Linux distributions have worked together to define "micro-architecture
levels" in the x86-64 psABI, called x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3 and
x86-64-v4. They standardize a set of CPU features, and GCC since its
version 11.x has support for these micro-architecture levels as
-march= options.

It makes sense to support them in Buildroot, especially for those who
want to build toolchains that aim at targeting a reasonably broad
family of x86-64 processors.
