Remove Intel compiler support
include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years. We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel. For example, commit a0a12c3e ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") only mentioned GCC and Clang. init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC, and nobody has reported any issue. I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring about it. Harald Arnesen pointed out ICC (classic Intel C/C++ compiler) is deprecated: $ icc -v icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use '-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message. icc version 2021.7.0 (gcc version 12.1.0 compatibility) Arnd Bergmann provided a link to the article, "Intel C/C++ compilers complete adoption of LLVM". lib/zstd/common/compiler.h and lib/zstd/compress/zstd_fast.c were kept untouched for better sync with https://github.com/facebook/zstd Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/adoption-of-llvm-complete-icx.html Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
