[PATCH 03/21] ARM: use optimized do_div only for EABI

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Apr 23 2013 - 12:32:19 EST


In OABI configurations, some uses of the do_div function
cause gcc to run out of registers. To work around that,
we can force the use of the out-of-line version for
configurations that build a OABI kernel.

Without this patch, building netx_defconfig results in:

net/core/pktgen.c: In function 'pktgen_if_show':
net/core/pktgen.c:682:2775: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm'
net/core/pktgen.c:682:3153: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm'
net/core/pktgen.c:682:2775: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints
net/core/pktgen.c:682:3153: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints
