invoke.texi: Clarify -march=lujiazui
I was recently searching which exact CPUs are affected by the PR114576 wrong-code issue and went from the PTA_* bitmasks in GCC, so arrived at the goldmont, goldmont-plus, tremont and lujiazui CPUs (as -march= cases which do enable -maes and don't enable -mavx). But when double-checking that against the invoke.texi documentation, that was true for the first 3, but lujiazui said it supported AVX. I was really confused by that, until I found the https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-October/604407.html explanation. So, seems the CPUs do have AVX and F16C but -march=lujiazui doesn't enable those and even activelly attempts to filter those out from the announced CPUID features, in glibc as well as e.g. in libgcc. Thus, I think we should document what actually happens, otherwise users could assume that gcc -march=lujiazui predefines __AVX__ and __F16C__, which it doesn't. 2024-06-04 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> * doc/invoke.texi (lujiazui): Clarify that while the CPUs do support AVX and F16C, -march=lujiazui actually doesn't enable those.
