CONFIG-MATOM=y (arch/x86/crypto/curve25519-x86_64.c: error: inline assembly requires more registers than available )

[alavalas1]

Hi All ,

During Enable config MATOM kernel_v6.6 compilation with matom config ( config_matom=y)-error was encountered : inline assembly requires more registers than available**

As we observed below issue is running long back, as anyone is plan to upstream proposal for this issue?
if any other similar patches are upstream and issue resolved ?

Please help to let me know the any other information regards same issue, how to overcome.

The clang optimization for atom results in a large number of objtool
warnings like

drivers/video/hdmi.o: warning: objtool: hdmi_infoframe_check()+0x74: unreachable instruction
lib/crypto/curve25519.o: warning: objtool: init_module()+0x12: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-armpll.o: warning: objtool: iproc_armpll_setup()+0x10c: unreachable instruction
drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbfillrect.o: warning: objtool: cfb_fillrect()+0xa2: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-pll.o: warning: objtool: iproc_pll_clk_setup()+0x36d: unreachable instruction
drivers/clk/bcm/clk-iproc-asiu.o: warning: objtool: iproc_asiu_setup()+0x2cf: unreachable instruction

and in rare cases problems with the register allocator:

arch/x86/crypto/curve25519-x86_64.c:610:3: error: inline assembly requires more registers than available

error: ran out of registers during register allocation

All of those can be avoided by changing the -mtune= option for
clang, leaving the -march= option unchanged. It's really a bug
that should be fxied in llvm, but it's fairly clear that the
atom optimizations are not well exercised in llvm, so not
using them is probably the safe choice regardless.
