Subject: [PATCH] x86/percpu: Use correct asm operand modifier in percpu_stable_op
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:07:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231016200755.287403-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

"P" asm operand modifier is a x86 target-specific modifier. When used
for a constant, it drops all syntax-specific prefixes and issues the
bare constant. This modifier is not correct for address handling,
in this case a generic "a" operand modifier should be used.

"a" asm operand modifier substitutes a nemory reference, with the
actual operand treated as address.  For x86_64, when a symbol is
provided, the "a" modifier emits "sym(%rip)" instead of "sym",
enabling shorter %rip-relative addressing.

Clang allows only "i" and "r" opreand constraints with "a" modifier,
so the patch normalizes the modifier/constraint pair to "a"/"i"
which is consistent between both compilers.

The patch reduces code size of a test build for 4072 bytes:
