[PATCH v3] MIPS: Check __clang__ to avoid performance influence with GCC in csum_tcpudp_nofold()

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Fri Apr 02 2021 - 06:27:27 EST


The asm code in csum_tcpudp_nofold() is performance critical, I am sorry
for the poorly considered implementation about the performance influence
with GCC in the commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output
type mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang").

Using __clang__ instead of CC_IS_CLANG as check condition, because it
still occurs build error under CC_IS_GCC when make M=samples/bpf which
used with Clang compiler.

With this patch, we can build successfully by both GCC and Clang,
at the same time, the logic is much clear to avoid the potential
performance influence with GCC.

Here are some test data, the config file is loongson3_defconfig, the gcc
version is 10.2.1, we can see that the size has no differences between (1)
and (3).

(1) linux-5.12-rc5.nopatch:
without commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output type
mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang").

(2) linux-5.12-rc5:
with commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output type
mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang").

(3) linux-5.12-rc5.newpatch:
with this patch based on linux-5.12-rc5.

As far as I can tell, the differences between (1) and (2) is due to the
following affected objects:
