Subject: [PATCH v2 10/16] x86: probe assembler capabilities via kconfig instead of makefile

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <[email protected]>

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.

Does KConfig generate -D<foo> flags for KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS?
Looks like lib/raid6/test/Makefile also generates some of these?

kconfig sticks everything it's got into include/generated/autoconf.h.
That's how you're able to use all those #ifdef CONFIG_* macros
already. This change moves things from a command line -D to the
autoconf.h file.

raid6 has its own crazy thing going on. The test directory compiles
that code for use in userspace. You might argue that its whole
situation is non-standard and weird and should be reworked
differently, but that seems like fodder for a different patchset on
the linux-raid list.

Cool, I wondered how that was wired up. Though seeing the word
"autoconf" brings on PTSD for me.
Patch LGTM.
