Subject: [PATCH 4.9 02/24] x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler support
Date: Wed,  9 Mar 2022 16:59:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220309155856.369868546@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220309155856.295480966@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com>

commit 4cd24de3a0980bf3100c9dcb08ef65ca7c31af48 upstream.

Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on the compiler capability.

Break the build when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and the compiler does not
support it. Emit an error message in that case:

 "arch/x86/Makefile:226: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline
  compiler, please update your compiler..  Stop."

[dwmw: Fail the build with non-retpoline compiler]
