I don't know much about target feature inheritance - does this guarantee that the entire sse/avx/avx512 level chain is correctly disabled?

Respect order of options.

I don't know much about target feature inheritance - does this guarantee that the entire sse/avx/avx512 level chain is correctly disabled?

setFeatureEnabled queries ImpliedFeatures to disable all dependent features.

Will this change affect AArch64 or other targets expect AArch64 and x86?

clang/lib/Basic/Targets/X86.cpp
120

Why do we need to expand it again after we handling in driver?

121

Please follow Lint's comment.

123–156

Shouldn't this be simply skipped under "general-regs-only"?

clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Arch/X86.cpp
222–223

Why we need copy the code here? Can it be simply use:

if (Args.getLastArg(options::OPT_mgeneral_regs_only))
  Features.insert(Features.end(), {"-x87", "-mmx", "-sse"});
handleTargetFeaturesGroup(Args, Features, options::OPT_m_x86_Features_Group);

Why we have a -avx512f when enabling avx2?

clang/test/Driver/x86-mgeneral-regs-only.c

ditto

No, using this option on other targets gives "argument unused during compilation" warning.

clang/lib/Basic/Targets/X86.cpp
120

The driver handles command line options, and this handles "target" attributes.
Just adding "+general-regs-only" in the driver also works. But it's not in OPT_m_x86_Features_Group, and current handleTargetFeaturesGroup will ignore it so we still have to copy its code, not much of a difference.

(Note AArch64 only supports options)

123–156

It's still about order of options. Seeing a "general-regs-only" doesn't mean the function is really GPR only, we have to apply all options in order and check the result.

clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Arch/X86.cpp
222–223

To make sure later options override earlier ones. This is how GCC behaves.

This is demonstrated in the "GPR" and "AVX2" check lines of the new tests.

clang/test/CodeGen/attr-target-general-regs-only-x86.c

See llvm::X86::updateImpliedFeatures(), enabling a feature will enable all features it depends on, disabling a feature also disables all features depending on it. This is "target feature inheritance" mentioned in Simon's comment.
