    Sorry for previous misunderstanding

    Here is the code:

    #define __put_user_asm(x, addr, err, op) \
    __asm__ __volatile__( \
    "1: " op "%U2%X2 %1,%2 # put_user\n" \
    "2:\n" \
    ".section .fixup,\"ax\"\n" \
    "3: li %0,%3\n" \
    " b 2b\n" \
    ".previous\n" \
    EX_TABLE(1b, 3b) \
    : "=r" (err) \
    : "r" (x), "m<>" (*addr), "i" (-EFAULT), "0" (err))
