[PATCH v3 1/2] kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for AutoFDO

From: xur

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 17:45:32 EST


From: Rong Xu <xur@xxxxxxxxxx>

The CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG and allow users to control AutoFDO
builds solely through CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig
and avoids potential confusion.
