[PATCH] arm/arm64: smccc: Use xN for arm64 register constraints with clang

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

The SMCCC v1.1 inline primitive code added by commit f2d3b2e8759a
("arm/arm64: smccc: Implement SMCCC v1.1 inline primitive") uses
register names r0, r1, ... for constraints. This breaks clang builds
for arm64, since clang currently only accepts x0, x1, ... in this
context. Use xN names for register constrains when building for arm64
with clang.

Can this be flipped to #ifdef __clang__ ?  having an if...else where the
conditional negated is kind of funny.

Not really, but I think I prefer Greg's version over mine and might
use it in a respin if nobody raises objections.

Sure, my thought was "common case first", but I agree that the negated
condition isn't ideal either.

NAK.  There's a reason I didn't send my change upstream.

As Marc pointed out (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/16/987), the "r"
prefix tells gcc to pick the appropriate register width.  "x" makes it
unconditionally use the entire 64-bit register width.  Just swapping out
one for the other changes the macro's semantics.

Unfortunately since this was breaking builds in android-4.14 and we
didn't have an immediate-term fix, I bit the bullet and added the above
commit -- but *only* as a short-term workaround.  For the one caller we
currently have in 4.14.y, gcc was using the entire 64-bit width for all
its inputs anyway, so "r" vs. "x" didn't make a difference.  But that
might not be true if/when someone introduces other SMCCC 1.1 callers.

Unfortunately I don't see a better way to deal with this than waiting
for clang to support "r"-style constraints on ARM64.

Thanks for the clarification! From the other thread
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/1/268) I had the impression that ARM
folks saw the option of a mergeable fix.

Given the fact that clang support for kernel builds is still
recent/WIP I guess it's not the end of the world if we have to raise
the minimum clang version to 7.x for newer kernels.

Thanks for the clarification! From the other thread
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/1/268) I had the impression that ARM
folks saw the option of a mergeable fix.

Given the fact that clang support for kernel builds is still
recent/WIP I guess it's not the end of the world if we have to raise
the minimum clang version to 7.x for newer kernels.

Manoj fixed this in:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL328829
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36862

Looks set to ride the Clang 6.0 train.  mka@ if you're planning another
state of the union email, it would be good to note the clang 6.0
requirement for arm64.

Is there anything left to do here?

We should be good, unless somebody wants to look into a patch that
fixes clang pre-6.0.1 builds and doesn't look too ugly.
