Subject: configure: Provide option to explicitly disable AVX2
X-Git-Tag: v3.1.0~106^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=mirror_qemu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=86583a07c4a7d55b04db5942a70d176f5299144a

configure: Provide option to explicitly disable AVX2

The configure script detects if the compiler has AVX2 support and
automatically sets avx2_opt="yes" which in turn defines CONFIG_AVX2_OPT.
There is no way of explicitly overriding this setting so this commit adds
two command-line options: --enable-avx2 and --disable-avx2.

The default behaviour, when no option is specified, is to maintain the
current behaviour and enable AVX2 if the compiler supports it.
