I'm attempting my first Gentoo install, I'm relatively well versed in Linux but haven't done a ground up install before like this.
I'm installing from Minimal and trying to set my CPU_FLAGS_X86 and want to do it right the first time. All recommendations in the Handbook recommend using CPUID's tool for determining CPU flags (which seem to be different than those listed in /proc/cpuinfo) but I don't have this tool on the minimal iso.
My question is: How can I determine what flags to set for CPU_FLAGS_X86 without using cpuid2cpuflags?
Would using the output from /proc/cpuinfo be suitable or is this too much?:
livecd ~ # grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | sort | uniq
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc art arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmperf tsc_known_freq pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm 3dnowprefetch cpuid_fault epb invpcid_single pti tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid ept_ad fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid mpx rdseed adx smap clflushopt intel_pt xsaveopt xsavec xgetbv1 xsaves dtherm ida arat pln pts hwp hwp_notify hwp_act_window hwp_epp
