[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 00/18] Increase minimum requirements for x86 platforms

[Bruce Richardson]

This patchset sets the minimum instruction set level for x86 platform to
SSE4.2, up from SSE3. This means that all builds will have SSE4.2 support
included, and we can remove special case manipulation of CFLAGS for the
same. Naturally, this does mean that some machines that previously could
run DPDK now can't do so, but hardware with SSE4.2 has been around for
almost a decade now, so this should not be a major problem.


Bruce Richardson (18):
  mk: require SSE4.2 support on all x86 platforms
  acl: remove checks for SSE4
  distributor: remove checks for SSE4
  eal: remove unneeded conditionals for SSE headers
  hash: remove checks for SSE4
  ip_frag: check for x86 rather than SSE4
  net: remove check for SSE4
  sched: remove check for SSE4
  crypto/aesni_mb: remove check for SSE4
  crypto/kasumi: remove check for SSE4
  crypto/snow3g: remove check for SSE4
  crypto/zuc: remove check for SSE4
  net/enic: replace check for SSE4 with check for x86
  net/i40e: remove checks for SSE4
  net/ixgbe: remove fallback code for non-SSE4 systems
  examples/ip_pipeline: remove macro check for SSE4
  examples/l3fwd: remove checks for SSE4
  examples/performance-thread: remove non-SSE4 fallbacks
