KVM: selftests: Fix ambiguous mov in KVM_ASM_SAFE()
Change the mov in KVM_ASM_SAFE() that zeroes @vector to a movb to make it unambiguous. This fixes a build failure with Clang since, unlike the GNU assembler, the LLVM integrated assembler rejects ambiguous X86 instructions that don't have suffixes: In file included from x86_64/hyperv_features.c:13: include/x86_64/processor.h:825:9: error: ambiguous instructions require an explicit suffix (could be 'movb', 'movw', 'movl', or 'movq') return kvm_asm_safe("wrmsr", "a"(val & -1u), "d"(val >> 32), "c"(msr)); ^ include/x86_64/processor.h:802:15: note: expanded from macro 'kvm_asm_safe' asm volatile(KVM_ASM_SAFE(insn) \ ^ include/x86_64/processor.h:788:16: note: expanded from macro 'KVM_ASM_SAFE' "1: " insn "\n\t" \ ^ <inline asm>:5:2: note: instantiated into assembly here mov $0, 15(%rsp) ^ It seems like this change could introduce undesirable behavior in the future, e.g. if someone used a type larger than a u8 for @vector, since KVM_ASM_SAFE() will only zero the bottom byte. I tried changing the type of @vector to an int to see what would happen. GCC failed to compile due to a size mismatch between `movb` and `%eax`. Clang succeeded in compiling, but the generated code looked correct, so perhaps it will not be an issue. That being said it seems like there could be a better solution to this issue that does not assume @vector is a u8.
