MIPS: strnlen_user.S: Fix a CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS regression
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Correct a regression introduced with 8453eeb [MIPS: Fix strnlen_user()
return value in case of overlong strings.] causing assembler warnings
and broken code generated in __strnlen_kernel_nocheck_asm:

arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S:64: Warning: Macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot

with the CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS option set, resulting in the function
looping indefinitely upon mounting NFS root.

Use conditional assembly to avoid a microMIPS code size regression.
Using $at unconditionally would cause such a regression as there are no
16-bit instruction encodings available for ALU operations using this
register.  Using $v1 unconditionally would produce short microMIPS
encodings, but would prevent this register from being used across calls
to this function.

The extra LI operation introduced is free, replacing a NOP originally
scheduled into the delay slot of the branch that follows.
