Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: rework CONFIG_X86_PAE dependency
Date: Mon,  4 Dec 2023 09:47:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231204084722.3789473-2-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231204084722.3789473-1-arnd@kernel.org>

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

While looking at a Xen Kconfig dependency issue, I tried to understand the
exact dependencies for CONFIG_X86_PAE, which is selected by CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
but can also be enabled manually.

Apparently the dependencies for CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G are strictly about CPUs
that do support PAE, but the actual feature can be incorrectly enabled on
older CPUs as well. The CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 dependencies on the other hand
include X86_PAE because cmpxchg8b is requried for PAE to work.

Rework this for readability and correctness, using a positive list of CPUs
that support PAE in a new X86_HAVE_PAE symbol that can serve as a dependency
for both X86_PAE and HIGHMEM64G as well as simplify the X86_CMPXCHG64
dependency list.

This did not solve the original problem of the Xen dependencies on
64 byte cache lines, as there are a number of CPUs that support PAE
but have 32 byte L1 cache lines.
