[PATCH RFC] x86: remove toolchain check for X32 ABI capability

Masahiro Yamada masahiroy at kernel.org
Sat Feb 27 19:39:10 CET 2021


This commit reverts 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than
error if binutils too old").

The help text in arch/x86/Kconfig says enabling the X32 ABI support
needs binutils 2.22 or later. This is met because the minimal binutils
version is 2.23 according to Documentation/process/changes.rst.

I would not say I am not familiar with toolchain configuration, but
I checked the configure.tgt code in binutils. The elf32_x86_64
emulation mode seems to be included when it is configured for the
x86_64-*-linux-* target.

I also tried lld and llvm-objcopy, and succeeded in building x32 VDSO.

I removed the compile-time check in arch/x86/Makefile, in the hope of
elf32_x86_64 being always supported.

With this, CONFIG_X86_X32 and CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI will be equivalent.
Rename the former to the latter.
