All these kinds of header #ifdefs do it make it harder to write code in
.c files without matching #ifdefs. Think of code like this completely
made up example:
if (!tdx_enable()) {
// Success! Make a seamcall:
int something = tdx_seamcall();
if (something == TDX_SEAMCALL_UD)
// oh no!
}
tdx_enable() can never return 0 if CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST=n, so the
entire if() block is optimized away by the compiler. *BUT*, if you've
#ifdef'd away TDX_SEAMCALL_UD, you'll get a compile error. People
usually fix the compile error like this:
if (!tdx_enable()) {
#ifdef CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST
// Success! Make a seamcall:
int something = tdx_seamcall();
if (something == TDX_SEAMCALL_UD)
// oh no!
#endif
}
Which isn't great.
Defining things unconditionally in header files is *FINE*, as long as
the #ifdefs are there somewhere to make the code go away at compile time.
Please post an updated (and tested) patch as a reply to this.
