This appears to work but seems to be "unsupported" by GCC, and clang
actually complains about it:
/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c:603:12: error: variable 'r1' is
uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
long sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
^~
The GCC docs say:
The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
input and output operands when calling Extended asm (see Extended
Asm).
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.1.0/gcc/Local-Register-Variables.html#Local-Register-Variables
If I do this it seems to work, but feels a little dicey:
asm ("" : "=r" (r1));
sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
Generated code looks OK ish:
clang:
sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
22e0: a0 04 24 78 clrldi r4,r1,50
if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
22e4: ff 07 24 28 cmpldi r4,2047
22e8: 58 00 81 40 ble 2340 <do_IRQ+0xe0>
gcc:
if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
2eb4: 00 38 28 70 andi. r8,r1,14336
...
