[PATCH 4.18 086/123] x86: Allow generating user-space headers without a compiler
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 03 2018 - 13:37:18 EST
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 829fe4aa9ac16417a904ad1de1307de906854bcf upstream.
When bootstrapping an architecture, it's usual to generate the kernel's
user-space headers (make headers_install) before building a compiler. Move
the compiler check (for asm goto support) to the archprepare target so that
it is only done when building code for the target.
Fixes: e501ce957a78 ("x86: Force asm-goto")
