cpu flags questions

[adcdam]

What should i add to my make.conf?

When typing cat /proc/cpuinfo i get this:

 

Thanks!

Excuse me Cardinal .... I hope not to bored You for my "intromission" ......

 

There is the possibility of use "-march=native" instead -march=core_abcxyz ....

 

with this little script you can see if there are differences launching once with native and in another terminal wi -march=your_subarch 

echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > test.c && gcc -v -Q -march=native -O2 test.c -o test && rm test.c test

for example i've an haswell 4771; there are 2 or 3 new instructions respect for example an Haswell 4730 K

__________________________________________________________________________

 

The 2nd thing:

 

I use for LDFLAGS 

LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,--hash-style=gnu"

________________________________________________________________

 

The last: if you use Gentoo-sources and you want to compile using specific instructions, you must at first abilitate the "experimental" USE; then:

# euse -E experimental -p sys-kernel/gentoo-sources && emerge gentoo-sources

(this will be "visible" in /etc/portage/package.use)

 

If You use "Stable with kernel 4.0.5 you'll be able to use also the BFQ scheduler

I whish that i have not bored You .......  (excuse me Cardinal)

 

good work !!!!!!!!! 

 

 

PS: Ah remember to use:

# emerge cpuinfo2cpuflags

and add the output to the make.conf.

amd64-piledriver:

CFLAGS="-march=bdver2 -O2 -pipe"

 

I use epro to auto-set compiler flags.

 

epro subarch amd64-piledriver

Check flags:

emerge --info | grep CFLAGS
CFLAGS="-march=bdver2 -O2 -pipe"

Thanks!!

cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86 give me this:

 

CPU_FLAGS_X86: aes avx fma3 fma4 mmx mmxext popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 sse4a ssse3 xop
so i added that to /etc/portage/make.conf

like this:

CPU_FLAGS_X86="aes avx fma3 fma4 mmx mmxext popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 sse4a ssse3 xop"
Thanks a lot

It seems all ok :)
