[PATCH v2 04/10] x86, asm: define CC_SET() and CC_OUT() macros

From: H. Peter Anvin
Date: Wed Jun 08 2016 - 15:39:08 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

The CC_SET() and CC_OUT() macros can be used together to take
advantage of the new __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ feature in gcc 6+ while
remaining backwards compatible. CC_SET() generates a SET instruction
on older compilers; CC_OUT() makes sure the output is received in the
correct variable.
