[PATCH 3.16 270/294] x86/boot: Add CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS quirk to arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h

3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 927392d73a97d8d235bb65400e2e3c7f0bec2b6f upstream.

Linus reported the following new warning on x86 allmodconfig with GCC 5.1:

> ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h: In function âarch_spin_lockâ:
> ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h:119:3: warning: implicit declaration
> of function â__ticket_lock_spinningâ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
> __ticket_lock_spinning(lock, inc.tail);
> ^

This warning triggers because of these hacks in misc.h:

/*
* we have to be careful, because no indirections are allowed here, and
* paravirt_ops is a kind of one. As it will only run in baremetal anyway,
* we just keep it from happening
*/
#undef CONFIG_PARAVIRT
#undef CONFIG_KASAN

But these hacks were not updated when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS was added,
and eventually (with the introduction of queued paravirt spinlocks in
recent kernels) this created an invalid Kconfig combination and broke
the build.

So add a CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS #undef line as well.

Also remove the _ASM_X86_DESC_H quirk: that undocumented quirk
was originally added ages ago, in:

099e1377269a ("x86: use ELF format in compressed images.")

and I went back to that kernel (and fixed up the main Makefile
which didn't build anymore) and checked what failure it
avoided: it avoided an include file dependencies related
build failure related to our old x86-platforms code.

That old code is long gone, the header dependencies got cleaned
up, and the build does not fail anymore with the totality of
asm/desc.h included - so remove the quirk.
