      [PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVEC · 52292c9b
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an
      altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel.  However, we
      used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug
      prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented
      building the RAID6 altivec code.
      
      This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version.  If 4.0 or
      later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add
      -maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support.
      For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which
      is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code.
      
      The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more
      skilled than me to improve it.
