    crypto: arm - workaround for building with old binutils · 3abafaf2
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    Old versions of binutils (before 2.23) do not yet understand the
    crypto-neon-fp-armv8 fpu instructions, and an attempt to build these
    files results in a build failure:
    
    arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `vld1.8 {q10-q11},[ip]!'
    arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aese.8 q0,q8'
    arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aesmc.8 q0,q0'
    arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aese.8 q0,q9'
    arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aesmc.8 q0,q0'
    
    Since the affected versions are still in widespread use, and this breaks
    'allmodconfig' builds, we should try to at least get a successful kernel
    build. Unfortunately, I could not come up with a way to make the Kconfig
    symbol depend on the binutils version, which would be the nicest solution.
    
    Instead, this patch uses the 'as-instr' Kbuild macro to find out whether
    the support is present in the assembler, and otherwise emits a non-fatal
    warning indicating which selected modules could not be built.

    [ard.biesheuvel:
     - omit modules entirely instead of building empty ones if binutils is too old
     - update commit log accordingly]
