x86/asm: Replace __force_order with a memory clobber (2020-10-01 10:31:48 +0200)
---------------------------------------------------------------- * Use XORL instead of XORQ to avoid a REX prefix and save some bytes in the .fixup section, by Uros Bizjak.
* Replace __force_order dummy variable with a memory clobber to fix LLVM requiring a definition for former and to prevent memory accesses from still being cached/reordered, by Arvind Sankar.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Arvind Sankar (1): x86/asm: Replace __force_order with a memory clobber
Uros Bizjak (1): x86/uaccess: Use XORL %0,%0 in __get_user_asm()
