Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86_64: add config options to optimize for newer AMD processors
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 13:54:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52486938.4090009@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Austin S. Hemmelgarn <ahferroin7@gmail.com>
This patch adds Kconfig options to allow optimization for AMD family
10h, AMD Bulldozer, and AMD Piledriver derived CPU's in version
3.12-rc2. These provide noticeable improvements over the K8 config
option, and allow the kernel to take full advantage of AMD specific
instruction set extensions, such as ABM, LZCNT, and POPCNT.
