[PATCH v2] x86: bitops: fix build regression

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Wed May 06 2020 - 13:06:05 EST


From: Ilie Halip <ilie.halip@xxxxxxxxx>

It turns out that if your config tickles __builtin_constant_p via
differences in choices to inline or not, this now produces invalid
assembly:

$ cat foo.c
long a(long b, long c) {
asm("orb\t%1, %0" : "+q"(c): "r"(b));
return c;
}
$ gcc foo.c
foo.c: Assembler messages:
foo.c:2: Error: `%rax' not allowed with `orb'

The "q" constraint only has meanting on -m32 otherwise is treated as
"r".

This is easily reproducible via Clang+CONFIG_STAGING=y+CONFIG_VT6656=m.

Without the cast to u8, gcc and clang will not select low-8-bit
registers required for the `b` suffix on `orb` and `andb`, which results
in an assembler error. Without the mask, sparse will warn about the
upper bytes of the value being truncated.

[Nick: reworded]
