Subject: [PATCH v2] purgatory: do not enable vectorization automatically for purgatory compiling
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 18:12:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YkLbjMVdz8o+SAYY@MiWiFi-R3L-srv> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220329100155.328474-1-bhe@redhat.com>

Redhat CKI reported kdump kernel will hang a while very early after crash
triggered, then reset to firmware to reboot.

This failure can only be observed with kdump or kexec reboot via
kexec_load system call. With kexec_file_load interface, both kdump and
kexec reboot work very well. And further investigation shows that gcc
version 11 doesn't have this issue, while gcc version 12 does.

After checking the release notes of the latest gcc, Dave found out it's
because gcc 12 enables auto-vectorization for -O2 optimization level.
Please see below link for more information:

Adding -fno-tree-vectorize to Makefile of purgatory can fix the issue.

v1->v2:
 Rebase code change on latest master branch since v1 code was made on my
 local branch based on an old release version of kexec-tools.
