Alexander Kanavin ba0326071e qemux86-64: build for x86-64-v3 (2013 Haswell and later) rather than Core 2 from 2006
This allows us to
- test those more recent instruction sets (AVX, AVX2, BMI1, BMI2, F16C, FMA, LZCNT, MOVBE, XSAVE)
- benefit from improved performance across the stack both in kvm-driven system emulation and when running
on real silicon.
For example, glibc:

v4 level is adding AVX-512, which is far less established, particularly Intel has famously backtracked
from supporting it in Alder Lake/Raport Lake client CPUs and AMD has only implemented it in very recent Zen4 products:

  • Initial version

Most of the items for the X86 architectures are defined in the single arch-x86 file.

Three ABIs are define, m32, mx32 and m64.

The following is the list of X86 specific variables:

X86ARCH32 - This is the 32-bit architecture GNU canonical arch, TUNE_ARCH.

X86ARCH64 - This is the 64-bit architecture GNU canonical arch, TUNE_ARCH.

The TUNE_PKGARCH is defined as follows:

TUNE_PKGARCH = ${TUNE_PKGARCH:tune-${DEFAULTTUNE}}

The package architecture for 32-bit targets is historical and generally set to to match the core compatible processor type, i.e. i386.

For 64-bit architectures, the architecture is expected to end in '_64'.

If the x32 ABI is used, then the _64 is further extended with a '_x32'.
