commit 2d70b54e055635ff60526b6949156504b6194b7c Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri Oct 6 13:21:32 2017 +0000 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Fri Jan 12 18:53:19 2018 +0000 x86/Rules: Use -mskip-rax-setup if the compiler supports it This option is available from GCC 5 onwards, and was specifically introduced as an optimisation for Linux. When using variadic functions, the caller needs to know how many floating point arguments were passed. Xen, like Linux, doesn't uses floating point arguments, so doesn't need to emit code to inform variadic functions such as printk() that there are zero arguments. The net delta for a release build is: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 35/625 up/down: 603/-5489 (-4886) with the single biggest change being: x86_emulate 101933 101751 -182 Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> --- xen/arch/x86/Rules.mk | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/Rules.mk b/xen/arch/x86/Rules.mk index 568657e..71ed371 100644 --- a/xen/arch/x86/Rules.mk +++ b/xen/arch/x86/Rules.mk @@ -24,8 +24,12 @@ $(call as-insn-check,CFLAGS,CC,".equ \"x\"$$(comma)1", \ -U__OBJECT_LABEL__ -DHAVE_GAS_QUOTED_SYM \ '-D__OBJECT_LABEL__=$(subst $(BASEDIR)/,,$(CURDIR))/$$@') -CFLAGS += -mno-red-zone -mno-sse -fpic -CFLAGS += -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables +CFLAGS += -mno-red-zone -fpic -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables + +# Xen doesn't use SSE interally.
