[PATCH v2] x86/asm: fix assembly constraints in bitops
From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Tue Apr 02 2019 - 07:28:25 EST
1. Use memory clobber in bitops that touch arbitrary memory
Certain bit operations that read/write bits take a base pointer and an
arbitrarily large offset to address the bit relative to that base.
Inline assembly constraints aren't expressive enough to tell the
compiler that the assembly directive is going to touch a specific memory
location of unknown size, therefore we have to use the "memory" clobber
to indicate that the assembly is going to access memory locations other
than those listed in the inputs/outputs.
To indicate that BTR/BTS instructions don't necessarily touch the first
sizeof(long) bytes of the argument, we also move the address to assembly
inputs.
This particular change leads to size increase of 124 kernel functions in
a defconfig build. For some of them the diff is in NOP operations, other
end up re-reading values from memory and may potentially slow down the
execution. But without these clobbers the compiler is free to cache
the contents of the bitmaps and use them as if they weren't changed by
the inline assembly.
2. Use byte-sized arguments for operations touching single bytes.
Passing a long value to ANDB/ORB/XORB instructions makes the compiler
treat sizeof(long) bytes as being clobbered, which isn't the case. This
may theoretically lead to worse code in the case of heavy optimization.

v2:
-- renamed the patch
-- addressed comment by Peter Zijlstra: don't use "+m" for functions
returning void
-- fixed input types for operations touching single bytes
