kernel>=5.7 and above can fail with bdver{2,3,4}, workaround is --mno-tbm #55

Gentoo issue: https://bugs.gentoo.org/726660

GCC issue: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95671
closed as invalid due kernel's objtool issue

I use this as workaround:

THanks for this, @maxbritov

Can you comment on the scope of this? Does the above need to be applied only with gcc>10 and linux>=5.7?

On my config I hit into this issue on 5.7, but Jakub Jelinek (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95671#c12) found similar bugreport from 2017 and kernel 4.14: https://bugs.gentoo.org/642924

Interesting... that implies all gcc versions and all kernel versions I am currently supporting. Given the age of the hardware, and the niche nature of users wanting to patch the kernel, it is not surprising that few experience it.

I will modify the patches incorporating the 3-line fix you shared with me. Thank you again for the engagement.

TBM is only bdver{2,3,4} feature, not supported all other cpu.
-march=native will stiil fails on that cpus.

WARNING This patch works with gcc versions 10.1+ and with kernel version 5.8+ and should NOT be applied when compiling on older versions of gcc due to key name changes of the march flags introduced with the version 4.9 release of gcc.[1] Use the older version of this patch hosted on the same github for older versions of gcc. FEATURES This patch adds additional CPU options to the Linux kernel accessible under: Processor type and features ---> Processor family ---> The expanded microarchitectures include: * AMD Improved K8-family * AMD K10-family * AMD Family 10h (Barcelona) * AMD Family 14h (Bobcat) * AMD Family 16h (Jaguar) * AMD Family 15h (Bulldozer) * AMD Family 15h (Piledriver) * AMD Family 15h (Steamroller) * AMD Family 15h (Excavator) * AMD Family 17h (Zen) * AMD Family 17h (Zen 2) * Intel Silvermont low-power processors * Intel Goldmont low-power processors (Apollo Lake and Denverton) * Intel Goldmont Plus low-power processors (Gemini Lake) * Intel 1st Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) * Intel 1.5 Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Westmere) * Intel 2nd Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Sandybridge) * Intel 3rd Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Ivybridge) * Intel 4th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Haswell) * Intel 5th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Broadwell) * Intel 6th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Skylake) * Intel 6th Gen Core i7/i9 (Skylake X) * Intel 8th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Cannon Lake) * Intel 10th Gen Core i7/i9 (Ice Lake) * Intel Xeon (Cascade Lake) * Intel Xeon (Cooper Lake) * Intel 3rd Gen 10nm++ i3/i5/i7/i9-family (Tiger Lake) It also offers to compile passing the 'native' option which, "selects the CPU to generate code for at compilation time by determining the processor type of the compiling machine. Using -march=native enables all instruction subsets supported by the local machine and will produce code optimized for the local machine under the constraints of the selected instruction set."[2] Do NOT try using the 'native' option on AMD Piledriver, Steamroller, or Excavator CPUs (-march=bdver{2,3,4} flag). The build will error out due the kernel's objtool issue with these.[3a,b] MINOR NOTES This patch also changes 'atom' to 'bonnell' in accordance with the gcc v4.9 changes. Note that upstream is using the deprecated 'match=atom' flags when I believe it should use the newer 'march=bonnell' flag for atom processors.[4] It is not recommended to compile on Atom-CPUs with the 'native' option.[5] The recommendation is to use the 'atom' option instead.
