Changes since V2: - V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1647360971.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com/ - Rebased against v5.18-rc4, no functional changes. - Add text in cover letter and first patch to highlight that the __cpuid_count() macro provided is not a new implementation but copied from gcc.
Changes since V1: - V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1644000145.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com/ - Change solution to not use __cpuid_count() from compiler's cpuid.h but instead use a local define of __cpuid_count() provided in kselftest.h to ensure tests continue working in all supported environments. (Shuah) - Rewrite cover letter and changelogs to reflect new solution.
A few tests that require running CPUID do so with a private implementation of a wrapper for CPUID. This duplication of the CPUID wrapper should be avoided.
Both gcc and clang/LLVM provide wrappers for CPUID but the wrappers are not available in the minimal required version of gcc, v3.2, that the selftests need to be used in. __cpuid_count() was added to gcc in v4.4, which is ok for kernels after v4.19 when the gcc minimal required version was changed to v4.6.
Copy gcc's __cpuid_count() to provide a local define of __cpuid_count() to kselftest.h to ensure that selftests can still work in environments with older stable kernels (v4.9 and v4.14 that have the minimal required version of gcc of v3.2). Update tests with private CPUID wrappers to use the new macro.
