[PATCH] x86: __down_read_trylock fix 32b build failure

From: Michal Hocko
Date: Wed Apr 13 2016 - 08:21:25 EST


Ingo has noticed the following compilation error with CONFIG_X86_32=y
./arch/x86/include/asm/rwsem.h:106:2: error: âasmâ operand has impossible constraints

The reason seems to be that 32b doesn't like ret being input and output
argument sharing the same register with sem which is only the input. Fix
this by making ret output only and use %3 (aka sem) for xadd.

ret initialization is not needed now because this is done implicitly
by the asm even for the fast path as both sem and ret share the same
register.
