Subject[PATCH 3.14 42/98] parisc: fix out-of-register compiler error in ldcw inline assembler function
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>

commit 45db07382a5c78b0c43b3b0002b63757fb60e873 upstream.

The __ldcw macro has a problem when its argument needs to be reloaded from
memory. The output memory operand and the input register operand both need to
be reloaded using a register in class R1_REGS when generating 64-bit code.
This fails because there's only a single register in the class. Instead, use a
memory clobber. This also makes the __ldcw macro a compiler memory barrier.
