[PATCH, RFT] byteswap: try to avoid __builtin_constant_p gcc bug
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 - 18:01:35 EST
This is another attempt to avoid a regression in wwn_to_u64()
after that started using get_unaligned_be64(), which in turn
ran into a bug on gcc-4.9 through 6.1.
As part of the problem is how __builtin_constant_p gets evaluated
on an argument passed by reference into an inline function, this
avoids the use of __builtin_constant_p() for all architectures
that set CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP. Most architectures do not
set ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING, which means they probably
do not suffer from the problem in the qla2xxx driver, but they
might still run into it elsewhere.
I have not been able to reproduce the original problem, so I don't
know if this patch solves it, but at least it leads to simpler
code doing the same thing, so at least there should be no downsides.
Please test.
