The kernel disables all SSE and similar FP/SIMD instructions on x86-based architectures (partly because we shouldn't be using floats in the kernel, and partly to avoid the need for stack alignment, see: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383 ) UML does not do the same thing, which isn't in itself a problem, but does add to the list of differences between UML and "normal" x86 builds. In addition, there was a crash bug with LLVM < 15 / rustc < 1.65 when building with SSE, so disabling it fixes rust builds with earlier compiler versions, see: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/pull/881 Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Reviewed-by: Sergio González Collado <sergio.collado@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
