This patch introduces GCC ASM flags to bitops. Instead of e.g.
136d7: 48 0f a3 3d 00 00 00 bt %rdi,0x0(%rip)
136de: 00
136df: 19 ff sbb %edi,%edi
136e1: 85 ff test %edi,%edi
136e3: 0f 95 c0 setne %al
following code is generated:
13767: 48 0f a3 3d 00 00 00 bt %rdi,0x0(%rip)
1376e: 00
1376f: 0f 92 c0 setb %al
Similar improvement can be seen in following code:
7a6c: 48 0f a3 11 bt %rdx,(%rcx)
7a70: 19 d2 sbb %edx,%edx
7a72: 85 d2 test %edx,%edx
7a74: 74 eb je 7a61
which becomes:
7a8c: 48 0f a3 11 bt %rdx,(%rcx)
7a90: 73 ef jae 7a81

Nothing in your patch seems to be setting __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__, and the patch
does not seem to be mailed as part of a larger series ...
So how is this supposed to work?
Thanks,
Ingo

GCC version 6+ will automatically define __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ when
this feature is supported. Please see [1] for RFC GCC patch series and
[2] for final committed patch.

Ok, great. This information should be part of the changelog and such, as it's not
obvious.
Does the GCC project treat this as an ABI kind of thing, i.e. can the kernel rely
on it from now on, without the GCC side semantics of this feature not ever
changing and breaking the kernel?
Thanks,
Ingo

No problem, I'll add this information and send a v2 patch.

Yes. It was discussed and agreed between GCC and kernel people (HPA)
on GCC mailing list. Please see [3].

Ok, great!
One more request: please make it similar to how we handle other, similar compiler
features and introduce an interim macro like:
#ifdef __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__
# define CC_HAVE_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS
#endif
in a suitable spot in include/linux/compiler-gcc.h, and use
CC_HAVE_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS in the other places.
this makes it easier to disable/enable this feature centrally, and it might enable
other compilers to introduce a similar feature.
Thanks,
Ingo
