Subject: [PATCH v3] vhost: disable for OABI
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 18:20:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200416221902.5801-1-mst@redhat.com> (raw)

vhost is currently broken on the some ARM configs.

The reason is that that uses apcs-gnu which is the ancient OABI that is been
deprecated for a long time.

Given that virtio support on such ancient systems is not needed in the
first place, let's just add something along the lines of

	depends on !ARM || AEABI

to the virtio Kconfig declaration, and add a comment that it has to do
with struct member alignment.

Note: we can't make VHOST and VHOST_RING themselves have
a dependency since these are selected. Add a new symbol for that.

Changes from v2:
	- drop prompt from VHOST_DPN
	- typo fix in commit log
	- OABI is a possible ARM config but not the default one
