+Subject: [PATCH 56/56] x86/altcall: fix clang code-gen when using altcall in
+ loop constructs
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Yet another clang code generation issue when using altcalls.
+
+The issue this time is with using loop constructs around alternative_{,v}call
+instances using parameter types smaller than the register size.
+
+Given the following example code:
+
+static void bar(bool b)
+{
+ unsigned int i;
+
+ for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
+ {
+ int ret_;
+ register union {
+ bool e;
+ unsigned long r;
+ } di asm("rdi") = { .e = b };
+ register unsigned long si asm("rsi");
+ register unsigned long dx asm("rdx");
+ register unsigned long cx asm("rcx");
+ register unsigned long r8 asm("r8");
+ register unsigned long r9 asm("r9");
+ register unsigned long r10 asm("r10");
+ register unsigned long r11 asm("r11");
+
+ asm volatile ( "call %c[addr]"
+ : "+r" (di), "=r" (si), "=r" (dx),
+ "=r" (cx), "=r" (r8), "=r" (r9),
+ "=r" (r10), "=r" (r11), "=a" (ret_)
+ : [addr] "i" (&(func)), "g" (func)
+ : "memory" );
+ }
+}
+
+See: https://godbolt.org/z/qvxMGd84q
+
+Clang will generate machine code that only resets the low 8 bits of %rdi
+between loop calls, leaving the rest of the register possibly containing
+garbage from the use of %rdi inside the called function. Note also that clang
+doesn't truncate the input parameters at the callee, thus breaking the psABI.
+
+Fix this by turning the `e` element in the anonymous union into an array that
+consumes the same space as an unsigned long, as this forces clang to reset the
+whole %rdi register instead of just the low 8 bits.
+
+Fixes: 2ce562b2a413 ('x86/altcall: use a union as register type for function parameters on clang')
