            Bug ID: 19236
           Summary: -march=native doesn't work in virtualized environment
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs

I have x86-64 Debian sid installed in kvm-qemu. I have 64-bit clang-3.5
installed from Debian repository.

When compiling a simple program with -march=native, clang fails.
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
        printf("Hello World!\n");
        return 0;
}
$ clang -march=native hello.c
error: unknown target CPU 'athlon'

Apparently, there is some bug in processor detection, even if the system is
64-bit, clang detects a 32-bit "athlon" processor and subsequently fails,
because
the 64-bit target doesn't know this processor.

Note that kvm reports some features of the underlying CPU (the CPU is
istanbul-class Opteron) as not present in order to allow the program to be
migrated. This probably confuses clang, so that it clasifies the CPU as 32-bit
Athlon.
