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 but having one is also
unnecessary because of the existence of a macro that can
be used instead.

This series replaces private CPUID wrappers with calls
to the __cpuid_count() macro from cpuid.h as made available
by gcc and clang/llvm.

I am all for this cleanup. However, I am not finding __cpuid_count()
marco on my system with gcc:

gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 11.2.0-7ubuntu2) 11.2.0

My concern is regression on older gcc versions.

thanks,

Right. After I sent off the response, I was thinking we discussed
this before. Thanks for the refresh.

This will work fine on newer versions of gcc/clang. However this could
fail when mainline kselftest is used on stable releases on test rings
and so on, especially if they have older versions of gcc/clang.

We will have to find a solution for this. Instead of deleting the local
define, let's keep it under ifndef __cpuid_count

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/include/cpuid.h

#define __cpuid_count(level, count, a, b, c, d)                         \
   __asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid\n\t"                                     \
                         : "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d)        \
                         : "0" (level), "2" (count))
