Subject: [PATCH] x86: drop bogus "cc" clobber from __try_cmpxchg_user_asm()
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 17:00:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <485c0c0b-a3a7-0b7c-5264-7d00c01de032@suse.com> (raw)

As noted (and fixed) a couple of times in the past, "=@cc<cond>" outputs
and clobbering of "cc" don't work well together. The compiler appears to
mean to reject such, but doesn't - in its upstream form - quite manage
to yet for "cc". Furthermore two similar macros don't clobber "cc", and
clobbering "cc" is pointless in asm()-s for x86 anyway - the compiler
always assumes status flags to be clobbered there.

Fixes: 989b5db215a2 ("x86/uaccess: Implement macros for CMPXCHG on user addresses")
Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
---
The change I continue to carry locally actually allows specifying that
"cc" is _not_ clobbered; it only happens to improve detection of bad
situations like the one here.
