Hi,
FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5
Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/01/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.
Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.
Thanks.
Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] mk: disable gcc AVX512F support
[ upstream commit 8d07c82b239f7782be0d3afbb626390e2cb0c8f5 ]
This is a workaround to prevent a crash, which might be caused by
optimization of newer gcc (7.3.0) on Intel Skylake.
This disables AVX512F support of gcc by adding -mno-avx512f if it is
disabled in DPDK (CONFIG_RTE_ENABLE_AVX512=n).
This does not apply to the meson build as that doesn't have such an option
but always enable AVX512F whenever supported.
