New Linux Patch Establishes “CONFIG_X86_64_NATIVE” For -march=native Kernel Builds
Last week I wrote about Linux patches cleaning up x86 32-bit kernel builds for x86_64 CPUs. The new iteration of those patches were sent out today, including the addition of a patch adding the CONFIG_X86_64_NATIVE Kconfig tunable for enabling “-march=native” kernel builds to cater your optimized kernel compilation for the CPU on which you are building the kernel… ⌘ Read more
