Re: [PATCH] powerpc/32: Remove memory clobber asm constraint on dcbX() functions

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>

Also in: lkml

Segher,

A while ago I proposed the following patch, and didn't get any comment 
back on it.

Do you have any opinion on it ? Is it good and worth it ?

Thanks
Christophe

Instead of just telling GCC that dcbz(), dcbi(), dcbf() and dcbst()
clobber memory, tell it what it clobbers:
* dcbz(), dcbi() and dcbf() clobbers one cacheline as output
* dcbf() and dcbst() clobbers one cacheline as input
