This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled lib/mpi: Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: lib-mpi-eliminate-unused-umul_ppmm-definitions-for-mips.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b0c091ae04f6746f541b9be91809e1f4f43e9a65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 12:32:57 -0700 Subject: lib/mpi: Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> commit b0c091ae04f6746f541b9be91809e1f4f43e9a65 upstream. Clang errors out when building this macro: lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:37:24: error: invalid use of a cast in a inline asm context requiring an l-value: remove the cast or build with -fheinous-gnu-extensions umul_ppmm(prod_high, prod_low, s1_ptr[j], s2_limb); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lib/mpi/longlong.h:652:20: note: expanded from macro 'umul_ppmm' : "=l" ((USItype)(w0)), \ ~~~~~~~~~~^~~ lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:37:3: error: invalid output constraint '=h' in asm umul_ppmm(prod_high, prod_low, s1_ptr[j], s2_limb); ^ lib/mpi/longlong.h:653:7: note: expanded from macro 'umul_ppmm' "=h" ((USItype)(w1)) \ ^ 2 errors generated. The C version that is used for GCC 4.4 and up works well with clang; however, it is not currently being used because Clang masks itself as GCC 4.2.1 for compatibility reasons. As Nick points out, we require GCC 4.6 and newer in the kernel so we can eliminate all of the versioning checks and just use the C version of umul_ppmm for all supported compilers.
