Commit Message

Some selftests depend on information provided by the CPUID instruction.
To support this dependency the selftests implement private wrappers for
CPUID.

Duplication of the CPUID wrappers should be avoided.

Both gcc and clang/LLVM provide __cpuid_count() macros but neither
the macro nor its header file are available in all the compiler
versions that need to be supported by the selftests. __cpuid_count()
as provided by gcc is available starting with gcc v4.4, so it is
not available if the latest tests need to be run in all the
environments required to support kernels v4.9 and v4.14 that
have the minimal required gcc v3.2.

Provide a centrally defined macro for __cpuid_count() to help
eliminate the duplicate CPUID wrappers while continuing to
compile in older environments.

Note to maintainers:
- Macro is identical to the one provided by gcc, but not liked by
  checkpatch.pl with message "Macros with complex values should
  be enclosed in parentheses". Similar style is used in kernel,
  for example in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.h.

I encountered this also and that is why this patch contains the "Note to
maintainers" above. It is not clear to me whether you considered the note
since your response does not acknowledge it.

More information available in
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Statement-Exprs.html#Statement-Exprs
but from what I understand it does not apply to this macro. Even so, I do
not know what checkpatch.pl uses to determine that this is a "Macro with
complex values".

  I didn't notice and reply for the note.

  But I didn't think deeply enough before: I'm not sure is there any real

In this case I would prefer to not implicitly follow the checkpatch.pl without
understanding what the concern is.

The goal of this change is to make the __cpuid_count() macro available
within kselftest and it does so by duplicating gcc's __cpuid_count() macro.

The macro style is not unique and you would, for example, encounter the same
checkpatch.pl complaint if you run:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.h
