[PATCH V3 1/4] selftests: Provide local define of __cpuid_count()

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

 



Some selftests depend on information provided by the CPUID instruction.
To support this dependency the selftests implement private wrappers for
CPUID.

Duplication of the CPUID wrappers should be avoided.

Both gcc and clang/LLVM provide __cpuid_count() macros but neither
the macro nor its header file are available in all the compiler
versions that need to be supported by the selftests. __cpuid_count()
as provided by gcc is available starting with gcc v4.4, so it is
not available if the latest tests need to be run in all the
environments required to support kernels v4.9 and v4.14 that
have the minimal required gcc v3.2.

Duplicate gcc's __cpuid_count() macro to provide a centrally defined
macro for __cpuid_count() to help eliminate the duplicate CPUID wrappers
while continuing to compile in older environments.

Note to maintainers:
- Macro is identical to the one provided by gcc, but not liked by
  checkpatch.pl with message "Macros with complex values should
  be enclosed in parentheses". Similar style is used in kernel,
  for example in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.h.

Changes since V2:
- Highlight in changelog that macro is copied from gcc.
