[PATCH 3.18 097/183] parisc: fix out-of-register compiler error in ldcw inline assembler function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@xxxxxxxx>

commit 45db07382a5c78b0c43b3b0002b63757fb60e873 upstream.

The __ldcw macro has a problem when its argument needs to be reloaded from
memory. The output memory operand and the input register operand both need to
be reloaded using a register in class R1_REGS when generating 64-bit code.
This fails because there's only a single register in the class. Instead, use a
memory clobber. This also makes the __ldcw macro a compiler memory barrier.

+   fails to find a register in class R1_REGS when "a" needs to be
+   reloaded when generating 64-bit PIC code.  Instead, we clobber
+   memory to indicate to the compiler that the assembly code reads
+   or writes to items other than those listed in the input and output
+   operands.  This may pessimize the code somewhat but __ldcw is
+   usually used within code blocks surrounded by memory barriors.  */
