x86/efi: Fix 3DNow optimization build failure in EFI stub
Building a 32-bit kernel with CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW and CONFIG_EFI_STUB leads to the following build error, drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a(efi-stub-helper.o): In function `efi_relocate_kernel': efi-stub-helper.c:(.text+0xda5): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy' This is due to the fact that the EFI boot stub pulls in the 3DNow optimized versions of the memcpy() prototype from arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h, even though the _mmx_memcpy() implementation isn't available in the EFI stub. For now, predicate CONFIG_EFI_STUB on !CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW. This is most definitely a temporary fix. A complete solution will involve selectively including kernel headers/symbols into the early-boot execution environment of the EFI boot stub, i.e. something analogous to the way that the _SETUP symbol is used. Previous attempts have been made to fix this kind of problem, though none seem to have ever been merged, http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120329104822.GA17233@x1.osrc.amd.com Clearly, this problem has been around for a long time.
