Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: drop support for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 14:04:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220628210407.3343118-1-ndesaulniers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+55aFz2sNBbZyg-_i8_Ldr2e8o9dfvdSfHHuRzVtP2VMAUWPg@mail.gmail.com>
The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down
to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully
unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width.
This patch is effectively a revert of
commit 15f5db60a137 ("kbuild,arc: add
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding
ARCH_CFLAGS
Ever since
commit cfdbc2e16e65 ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker
script")
ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not
specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not
re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile.
Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that
matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make:
$ make KCFLAGS=-O3
Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should
provide:
1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable
userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that
would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`.
2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after.
3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.
