[PATCH 3.14 056/158] x86, hash: Fix build failure with older binutils

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun May 04 2014 - 12:41:49 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>

commit 06325190bd577e11429444d54f454b9d13f560c9 upstream.

Just like for other ISA extension instruction uses we should check
whether the assembler actually supports them. The fallback here simply
is to encode an instruction with fixed operands (%eax and %ecx).

[ hpa: tagging for -stable as a build fix ]
