Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] x86: use gcc 6+ asm flag output feature

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>

gcc 6+ has the ability to let flags (actually, conditions, which are
specific combinations of flags) to be used directly as asm() outputs.
The syntax for that is "=@cc<cc>" where <cc> is the same set of
letters that would be used in a j<cc> or set<cc> instruction
(e.g. "=@ccz" to test the ZF flag.)

This patchset by itself reduces the size of the x86-64 kernel by
0.12%, from a baseline of 4.7-rc2 built with gcc 6.1 (first line is
with the patchset, the second one is without):

v2: fix a conflict between <linux/random.h> and <asm/archrandom.h>
    discovered by Ingo Molnar.  There are a few places in x86-specific
    code where we need all of <arch/archrandom.h> even when
    xCONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM is disabled, so <linux/random.h> does not
    suffice.  Only the <asm/archrandom.h> patch has been changed;
    since it is a little bit different from the others I have moved it
    to the end.
