Impossible constraint in ‘asm’ error with kernel FDO

132 views Asked by At

I'm trying to compile the aarch64 kernel with FDO. The initial compilation process works fine, however the second phase of using the gcda files (-fprofile-use) runs into error. Any idea, what this would be happening and how to avoid that? kernel version 5.4.17, gcc8.5

./arch/arm64/include/asm/jump_label.h: In function ‘hchacha_block_arch’:
./include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:107:38: warning: asm operand 0 probably doesn’t match constraints
 #define asm_volatile_goto(x...) do { asm goto(x); asm (""); } while (0)
                                      ^~~
./arch/arm64/include/asm/jump_label.h:38:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘asm_volatile_goto’
  asm_volatile_goto(
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:107:38: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
 #define asm_volatile_goto(x...) do { asm goto(x); asm (""); } while (0)

I have seen other issues at Stackoverflow related to this error talking about not optimizing certain portion of codes as a workaround but I'm not sure how to apply (if possible) the same solution to a macro defined in a header file. Similar steps for x86 work fine, just wondering what could be the issue here.
