PATCH 1/1 x86, crypto: Check if gas supports CRC32

Building current kernel with some old toolchain (gcc 4.1.2 and gas 2.17) chokes with:

arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S:128: Error: no such instruction: crc32b %bl,%r8d' arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S:204: Error: no such instruction: crc32q -i*8(%rcx),%r8'
...

due to the fact that gas doesn't know the CRC32 instruction. Check that before building.

So this is one possibility to address this. Code already
has the ifdeffery around crc_pcl() which is implemented in crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S so we can piggyback on that and not build that file if gas doesn't know CRC32.

If no CRC32 support, it still builds fine silently, however it would be better to probably say that due to old toolchain, kernel doesn't include fast CRC32 stuff in crc32c-intel.ko.

Hmmm.

This looks too complicated. We do have as-instr for exactly those kind of tests. And, in fact, looking at arch/x86/Makefile we already have one for crc32:

  asinstr += $(call as-instr,crc32l %eax$(comma)%eax,-DCONFIG_AS_CRC32=1)

So you can just used CONFIG_AS_CRC32 for your tests and drop the shell script.

Gah, CONFIG_AS_CRC32 gets defined as a preprocessor symbol only so cannot be used in makefiles. So crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S needs a "#ifdef CONFIG_AS_CRC32" guard and still be compiled for CONFIG_64BIT, as it is now. It'll be an empty object for older binutils versions not supporting the crc32 instruction.

Sorry for the confusion.

Mathias

Yeah, that makes it all even simpler, thanks!

We're still b0rked though:

...

and need checking for more instructions. I'll play with this more tomorrow.

Good night :-)

You probably can reuse the AVX test for this -- either the CONFIG_AS_AVX preprocessor one or the $(avx_supported) make one, local to arch/x86/crypto/Makefile.
Even though the CLMUL feature has not much to with AVX (it has a dedicated CPUID feature bit), support for it in binutils was added together with AVX support, see
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=c0f3af977b0f28a0dc5a620110b8dcf9d8286f84
