-Title: CPU_FLAGS_X86 introduction
-Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
-Content-Type: text/plain
-Posted: 2015-01-28
-Revision: 2

-
-The USE flags corresponding to the instruction sets and other features
-specific to the x86 (amd64) architecture are being moved into a separate
-USE flag group called CPU_FLAGS_X86.
-
-In order not to lose CPU-specific optimizations, users will be required
-to update their make.conf (and package.use) file. For example, if
-the following USE flags were present:
-
- USE="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3"
-
-Those flags need to be copied into:
-
- CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3"
-
-Please note that the same CPU_FLAGS_X86 variable is used both on x86
-and amd64 systems.
-
-When in doubt, you can consult the flag descriptions using one of
-the commonly available tools, e.g. `equery uses` from gentoolkit:
-
- $ equery uses media-video/ffmpeg
-
-Most of the flag names match /proc/cpuinfo names, with the notable
-exception of SSE3 which is called 'pni' in /proc/cpuinfo (please also
-do not confuse it with distinct SSSE3).
-
-To help users enable the correct USE flags, we are providing a tool
-that generates the correct value for the local CPU. It can be found
-in the app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags package:
-
- $ emerge -1v app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags
- $ cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86
-
-In order to ensure safe migration and maintain compatibility with
-external repositories, it is recommended to preserve the old USE
-settings for a period of one year or until no package of interest is
-still using them.
