[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6] x86/clang: allow integrated assembler usage

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If the required features are present.

Modify as-option-add to add an option in case the test fails, and use
it to detect whether the required clang integrated assembler features
are present.

This patch has been tested with clang 3.5, clang 6, gcc 6.4.0 without
retpoline support and gcc 7.3.1 with retpoline support.

Changes since v5:
 - Use as-option-add.
 - Add a test to check if as supports .skip with labels.
 - Use as-option-add to check for .macro persistence.

Changes since v4:
 - Do not use else ifeq on the same line to be compatible with make
   3.8.
 - Modify as-insn-check to allow adding flags if the test case fails.

Changes since v3:
 - Do not modify how the thunk is included, clang upstream (and 6) has
   been fixed to propagate .macro-s between asm()-s.

Changes since v1:
 - Use as-insn to check if the assembler supports .include.
 - Open code a check for whether the assembler forgets .macro-s
   between asm()-s.
