Currently, GCC optimizes -O6 same as -O3 level. Right optimize debugging
experience is given by passing -Og to compiler.

Is this is this -Og available in old gcc versions? When was it
introduced? Do you know?

GCC 4.8.0 is the first version capable of the option: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html.
That can be problematic, which GCC version do you support in linux/perf?

So the rule has been: What are the kernel requirements for the
toolchain? tools/perf/ should build with that.

So we could use -Og if it works, like Kbuild does it:

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-mno-fp-ret-in-387)

the 'cc-option' Make function does some magic of silently calling GCC
with that option and observing the result.

See:

scripts/Kbuild.include:cc-option = $(call try-run,\

et al.

Thanks,

Hi.

I am sorry, I did mistake in understanding of DEBUG variable.
Following patch should be fixed, except missing auto-detection
of -Og option.

Unfortunately, following hunk does not work, no -Ox is added to CFLAGS?

-- CFLAGS += -Og
++ CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Og,-O0)


Thanks,
Martin
