Revision 3a55fb0d9fe8e2f4594329edd58c5fd6f35a99dd authored by Kirill Smelkov on 02 November 2012, 11:41:01 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 16 January 2013, 20:42:57 UTC
In commit 281dc5c5ec0f ("Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE") we already changed the actual default value, but the help-text still suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons. Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside. The main ones are: - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is horrendously bad for performance. - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$. - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.
