    powerpc/Makefile: Don't pass -mcpu=powerpc64 when building 32-bit · 2863dd2d
    Michael Ellerman 提交于
    When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y (true for all our defconfigs) we pass
    -mcpu=powerpc64 to the compiler, even when we're building a 32-bit
    kernel.
    
    This happens because we have an ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/else block in
    the Makefile that was written before 32-bit supported GENERIC_CPU. Prior
    to that the else block only applied to 64-bit Book3E.
    
    The GCC man page says -mcpu=powerpc64 "[specifies] a pure ... 64-bit big
    endian PowerPC ... architecture machine [type], with an appropriate,
    generic processor model assumed for scheduling purposes."
    
    It's unclear how that interacts with -m32, which we are also passing,
    although obviously -m32 is taking precedence in some sense, as the
    32-bit kernel only contains 32-bit instructions.
    
    This was noticed by inspection, not via any bug reports, but it does
    affect code generation. Comparing before/after code generation, there
    are some changes to instruction scheduling, and the after case (with
    -mcpu=powerpc64 removed) the compiler seems more keen to use r8.
    
    Fix it by making the else case only apply to Book3E 64, which excludes
    32-bit.
