From d08b8ccc476215ceee6e3370f0c1732d5f83f5ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 23:05:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Simplify GCC_OFF_SMALL_ASM definition The GCC_OFF_SMALL_ASM macro defines the constraint to use for instructions needing "small offsets", typically the LL or SC instructions. Historically these had 16 bit offsets, but microMIPS & MIPS32/MIPS64r6 onwards reduced the width of the offset field. GCC 4.9 & higher supports a ZC constraint which matches the offset requirements of the LL & SC instructions. Where supported we can use the ZC constraint regardless of ISA, and it will handle the requirements of the ISA correctly. As such we require 3 cases: - GCC 4.9 & higher can use ZC. - GCC older than 4.9 must use the older R constraint, which does not take into account microMIPS or MIPSr6. - microMIPS builds therefore require GCC 4.9 or higher. MIPSr6 support was only introduced in newer compilers anyway so it can be ignored here. The current code complicates this a little by specifically having MIPSr6 bypass the GCC version check, and using the R constraint for pre-MIPSr6 builds even if the compiler supports ZC which would be equivalent. Simplify this such that the code straightforwardly implements the 3 cases outlined above. For non-GCC compilers we presume that ZC is safe to use. In practice the only non-GCC compiler of interest is clang and it has supported the ZC constraint since version 3.7.0. It seems safe enough to presume that nobody will expect to built a working kernel using a clang version older than that, and if they do then they'll have bigger problems. As such we don't check the clang version number & just presume ZC is usable when the compiler is not GCC.
