On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions, we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of "-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC, which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC. We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.) Keep the test for "-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI, but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on use hard-float. Since this isn't working as-intended on the last several years' worth of gcc releases, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4496616.iHFcN1HehY@portable-bastien
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
