[PATCHv2 3/3] powerpc: lib: sstep: fix build errors

From: Anders Roxell <hidden>
Date: 2022-02-24 16:32:50
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:10576: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.'
{standard input}:10680: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx'
{standard input}:10694: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx'

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction.  The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.
