From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: vladimir.murzin@arm.com (Vladimir Murzin) Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 09:40:05 +0000 Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] kconfig: add as-instr macro to scripts/Kconfig.include In-Reply-To: <1541583608-26375-1-git-send-email-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> References: <1541583608-26375-1-git-send-email-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Message-ID: <1541583608-26375-2-git-send-email-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org There are cases where the whole feature, for instance arm64/lse or arm/crypto, can depend on assembler. Current practice is to report buildtime that selected feature is not supported, which can be quite annoying... It'd nicer if we can check assembler first and opt-in feature visibility in Kconfig.
