Disable the __SHA__ static check for now https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/64208 caused us to skip the runtime check for SHA extensions when SHA is statically available. This change was correct (though we don't get the size wins without also emulating -ffunction-sections in the asm file), but we've run into a few places where projects build with -march=goldmont, but need a build that does not require SHA extensions: - Some CrOS toolchain definitions are incorrect and build with -march=goldmont when targetting boards that are not Goldmont. b/320482539 tracks fixing this. - Sometimes projects build with -march=goldmont as a rough optimized baseline. However, Intel CPU capabilities are not strictly linear, so this does not quite work. Some combination of -mtune and -march=x86-64-v{1,2,3,4} would be a better strategy here. - QEMU versions before 8.2 do not support SHA extensions and disable it with a warning. Projects that target Goldmont and test on QEMU will break. The long-term fix is to update to 8.2. A principled short-term fix would be -march=goldmont -mno-sha, to reflect that the binary needs to run on both QEMU-8.1-Goldmont and actual-Goldmont. Other than the CrOS issue, the others have been resolved or at least worked around, so once the CrOS issue is fixed, and the changes made their way through the pipeline, we can try this again. Though with the QEMU issue, the longer we wait, the less likely we'll trip people running old QEMUs.
