    arm64: Generate cpucaps.h · 0c6c2d36
    Mark Brown 提交于
    The arm64 code allocates an internal constant to every CPU feature it can
    detect, distinct from the public hwcap numbers we use to expose some
    features to userspace. Currently this is maintained manually which is an
    irritating source of conflicts when working on new features, to avoid this
    replace the header with a simple text file listing the names we've assigned
    and sort it to minimise conflicts.
    
    As part of doing this we also do the Kbuild hookup required to hook up
    an arch tools directory and to generate header files in there.
    
    This will result in a renumbering and reordering of the existing constants,
    since they are all internal only the values should not be important. The
    reordering will impact the order in which some steps in enumeration handle
    features but the algorithm is not intended to depend on this and I haven't
    seen any issues when testing. Due to the UAO cpucap having been removed in
    the past we end up with ARM64_NCAPS being 1 smaller than it was before.
