Ok, Micha and I hashed it out on IRC, here's what you do. Please keep
the comments too because we will forget soon again.
static inline void movdir64b(void *__dst, const void *src)
{
struct { char _[64]; } *__src = src;
struct { char _[64]; } *__dst = dst;
/*
* MOVDIR64B %(rdx), rax.
*
* Both __src and __dst must be memory constraints in order to tell the
* compiler that no other memory accesses should be reordered around
* this one.
*
* Also, both must be supplied as lvalues because this tells
* the compiler what the object is (its size) the instruction accesses.
* I.e., not the pointers but what they point, thus the deref'ing '*'.
*/
asm volatile(".byte 0x66, 0x0f, 0x38, 0xf8, 0x02"
: "+m" (*__dst)
: "m" (*__src), "a" (__dst), "d" (__src));
}
Thx.
