Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] x86: avoid -mtune=atom with clang
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 19:11:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211019171121.3510624-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The clang optimization for atom results in a large number of objtool
warnings like
drivers/video/hdmi.o: warning: objtool: hdmi_infoframe_check()+0x74: unreachable instruction
lib/crypto/curve25519.o: warning: objtool: init_module()+0x12: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-armpll.o: warning: objtool: iproc_armpll_setup()+0x10c: unreachable instruction
drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbfillrect.o: warning: objtool: cfb_fillrect()+0xa2: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-pll.o: warning: objtool: iproc_pll_clk_setup()+0x36d: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-asiu.o: warning: objtool: iproc_asiu_setup()+0x2cf: unreachable instruction
and in rare cases problems with the register allocator:
arch/x86/crypto/curve25519-x86_64.c:610:3: error: inline assembly requires more registers than available
error: ran out of registers during register allocation
All of those can be avoided by changing the -mtune= option for
clang, leaving the -march= option unchanged. It's really a bug
that should be fxied in llvm, but it's fairly clear that the
atom optimizations are not well exercised in llvm, so not
using them is probably the safe choice regardless.
