Christophe Leroy 1c38976334 powerpc/Makefile: set -mcpu=860 flag for the 8xx
When compiled with GCC 8.1, vmlinux is significantly bigger than
with GCC 4.8.

When looking at the generated code with objdump, we notice that
all functions and loops when a 16 bytes alignment. This significantly
increases the size of the kernel. It is pointless and even
counterproductive as on the 8xx 'nop' also consumes one clock cycle.

Size of vmlinux with GCC 4.8:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
5801948	1626076	 457796	7885820	 7853fc	vmlinux

Size of vmlinux with GCC 8.1:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6764592	1630652	 456476	8851720	 871108	vmlinux

Size of vmlinux with GCC 8.1 and this patch:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6331544	1631756	 456476	8419776	 8079c0	vmlinux

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
