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.
