[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Enforce dependency on an ARMv8.4-aware toolchain

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the NV support of TLBI-range operations, KVM makes use of
instructions that are only supported by binutils versions >= 2.30.

This breaks the build for very old toolchains.

Make KVM support conditional on having ARMv8.4 support in the
assembler, side-stepping the issue.

Fixes: 5d476ca57d7d ("KVM: arm64: nv: Add handling of range-based TLBI operations")
