Many cpucaps can only be set when certain CONFIG_* options are selected, and we need to check the CONFIG_* option before the cap in order to avoid generating redundant code. Due to this, we have a growing number of helpers in <asm/cpufeature.h> of the form: | static __always_inline bool system_supports_foo(void) | { | return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_FOO) && | cpus_have_const_cap(ARM64_HAS_FOO); | } This is unfortunate as it forces us to use cpus_have_const_cap() unnecessarily, resulting in redundant code being generated by the compiler. In the vast majority of cases, we only require that feature checks indicate the presence of a feature after cpucaps have been finalized, and so it would be sufficient to use alternative_has_cap_*(). However some code needs to handle a feature before alternatives have been patched, and must test the system_cpucaps bitmap via cpus_have_const_cap(). In other cases we'd like to check for unintentional usage of a cpucap before alternatives are patched, and so it would be preferable to use cpus_have_final_cap(). Placing the IS_ENABLED() checks in each callsite is tedious and error-prone, and the same applies for writing wrappers for each comination of cpucap and alternative_has_cap_*() / cpus_have_cap() / cpus_have_final_cap(). It would be nicer if we could centralize the knowledge of which cpucaps are possible, and have alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_cap(), and cpus_have_final_cap() handle this automatically. This patch adds a new cpucap_is_possible() function which will be responsible for checking the CONFIG_* option, and updates the low-level cpucap checks to use this. The existing CONFIG_* checks in <asm/cpufeature.h> are moved over to cpucap_is_possible(), but the (now trival) wrapper functions are retained for now. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch alone.
