The ARM version of __div64_32() encapsulates a call to __do_div64 with non-standard argument passing. In particular, __n is a 64-bit input argument assigned to r0-r1 and __rem is an output argument sharing half of that r0-r1 register pair. With __n being an input argument, the compiler is in its right to presume that r0-r1 would still hold the value of __n past the inline assembly statement. Normally, the compiler would have assigned non overlapping registers to __n and __rem if the value for __n is needed again. However, here we enforce our own register assignment and gcc fails to notice the conflict. In practice this doesn't cause any problem as __n is considered dead after the asm statement and *n is overwritten. However this is not always guaranteed and clang rightfully complains. Let's fix it properly by making __n into an input-output variable. This makes it clear that those registers representing __n have been modified. Then we can extract __rem as the high part of __n with plain C code. This asm constraint "abuse" was likely relied upon back when gcc didn't handle 64-bit values optimally. Turns out that gcc is now able to optimize things and produces the same code with this patch applied.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
