Subject: [PATCH 0/2] arm64: alternative: Remove optional 'cfg' parameter
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 12:32:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902113232.314831-1-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
These patches remove the optional 'cfg' parameter from alternative
macros.
Use of the 'cfg' parameter is less clear than ifdeffery or IS_ENABLED()
checks, and also doesn't allow the compiler to elide asm() blocks when
'cfg' is not selected, so it's preferable to avoid it.
Mark.
