tune-core2: Replace -mtune=generic with -mtune=core2
-march specifies which ISA to use. -mtune specifies which cpu-type to optimize instruction ordering for, but not which ISA to use. There are times when it may make sense to specify mtune=generic and use a more specific march, such as core2, but the opposite makes little sense at all: use cpu-type specific ISA, but order the instructions generically. While the -mtune is implied by -march, gcc does not verify it is using -mtune=core2 with: gcc -Q -march=core2 --help=target Explicitly specify -mtune=core2 to be sure. Add a comment header describing the CPUs targeted by this tune file.
