[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v7 2/5] x86/asm: add volatile, clobbers and zero-length check in inline memcmp
Add the volatile qualifier and clobbers parameter to prevent bugs with instruction reordering and optimization. Also check the zero-length case, as the 'repe' prefix does not run the 'cmpsb' instruction if the 'count' register is zero, which doesn't set the condition-code/zero flag, so the result is based on a stale flag. Those are pre-existing issues found by Sashiko.
