Subject: [PATCH 4/4] x86, boot: Work around clang PR18415.
Date: Wed,  8 Jan 2014 11:21:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389180083-23249-4-git-send-email-David.Woodhouse@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389180083-23249-1-git-send-email-David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Clang's intrinsics ignore -mregparm=3 when they fall back to calling the
out-of-line implementations. Putting the args on the stack when memcpy()
expects them in registers is not a recipe for a happy kernel.

This bites with -m32 too, so clang is presumably catastrophically
broken for the i386 kernel until this is fixed, unless I'm missing
something.

For information/testing only; do not apply. With this, I can use
'clang -m16' to build all the kernel's 16-bit code and get a successful
boot.
