between 2.6.15-git7 and 2.6.15-git8 we started getting hundreds of 
compile warnings:

-git7: http://test.kernel.org/20295/debug/test.log.0
-git8: http://test.kernel.org/20402/debug/test.log.0

Warnings look like this:

include/asm/bitops.h: In function `load_elf32_binary':
include/asm/bitops.h:30: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a 
register
include/asm/bitops.h:30: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a 
register
include/asm/bitops.h:65: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a 
register

register

include/asm/bitops.h:65: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a

register
include/asm/bitops.h:65: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a 
register
include/asm/bitops.h:65: warning: read-write constraint does not allow a 
register


What do these mean? And how do we get rid of it?

Presumably caused by this:

http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=636dd2b7def5c9c72551b51d4d516a65c269de08

or this:

They mean you have a buggy compiler.

It was the bitops.h constrain change.

The problem is that reverting them would be readding the problem. Maybe we need to 
#ifdef it.

There were rumblings about changing these checks around a bit, but
nothing happened and the warnings are still there ... any chance of
fixing this?

Hmm, as far as I can see I do the same as i386 with these constraints.
Are you sure i386 doesn't warn either?
