  Revert "powerpc: slightly improve cache helpers" (2019-07-31 22:56:27 +1000)

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 5.3 #4

Just one fix, a revert of a commit that was meant to be a minor improvement to
some inline asm, but ended up having no real benefit with GCC and broke booting
32-bit machines when using Clang.

Thanks to:
  Arnd Bergmann, Christophe Leroy, Nathan Chancellor, Nick Desaulniers, Segher
  Boessenkool.

Pulled, but whenever there are possible subtle compiler issues I get
nervous, and wonder if the problem was reported to the clang guys?

In particular, if the kernel change was technically correct, maybe
somebody else comes along in a few years and tries the same, and then
it's another odd "why doesn't this work for person X when it works
just fine for me"..

It was.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/593

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42762

We're still waiting for input from the PowerPC backend maintainers as
that is most likely where this issue originates from.

Cheers,
Nathan

Yes, sorry I should have included more context. It was actually the
Clang Linux folks who noticed it and reported it to us:
  https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/593

There's an LLVM bug filed:
  https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42762

And I think there's now agreement that the Clang behaviour is not
correct, Nick actually sent a revert as well but I already had one
queued:
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1144980/

Arnd identified some work arounds, which we may end up using, but for
this cycle we thought it was preferable to just revert this change as it
didn't actually change code generation with GCC anyway.

cheers
