Subject: powerpc: Incorrect stw operand modifier in __set_pte_at
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2020 10:45:13 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873469922.2744.1594219513228.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com> (raw)
Hi,
Reviewing use of the patterns "Un%Xn" with lwz and stw instructions
(where n should be the operand number) within the Linux kernel led
me to spot those 2 weird cases:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/nohash/pgtable.h:__set_pte_at()
__asm__ __volatile__("\
stw%U0%X0 %2,%0\n\
eieio\n\
stw%U0%X0 %L2,%1"
: "=m" (*ptep), "=m" (*((unsigned char *)ptep+4))
: "r" (pte) : "memory");
I would have expected the stw to be:
stw%U1%X1 %L2,%1"
and:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/32/pgtable.h:__set_pte_at()
__asm__ __volatile__("\
stw%U0%X0 %2,%0\n\
eieio\n\
stw%U0%X0 %L2,%1"
: "=m" (*ptep), "=m" (*((unsigned char *)ptep+4))
: "r" (pte) : "memory");
where I would have expected:
stw%U1%X1 %L2,%1"
Is it a bug or am I missing something ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
