{standard input}:1727: Error: operand out of range (-132 is not between -128 and 127)
I am not seeing any inline assembly in that patch, so I have to suspect
a bug in arch code or the compiler backend for arc.

Or is there something that I am missing here?
We looked into this case a little bit. The assembler error popped up
when building kernel/rcu/refscale.o

$make W=1 --keep-going CROSS_COMPILE=arceb-elf- ARCH=arc kernel/rcu/refscale.o
...

We did some assembly and disassembly tricks:

1721 .L334:
1722 ld_s r0,[r14,52] ;15
1723 brgt r0, r19, @.L335
1724 ld_s r0,[r13,120] ;15
1725 breq_s r0, 0, @.L337

1732 mov_s r1,0 ;3
1733 mov_s r0,sp ;4
1734 jl @init_wait_entry
1735 .align 2

This assembly instruction at line 1727 points to the code in main_func,
but main_func is not touched by commit a6889becb053.

We also tried on the parent commit 3c6496c86e48. It builds fine without
that assembler error, and corresponding disassembly is:

afe: 860d ld_s r0,[r14,0x34]
b00: 0b5d a002 brlt.nt r19,r0,-164 ;a5c <main_func+0x16c>

We are also not sure if this is a bug in arch code or compiler side.
Here we provide above info for your reference.
Thank you for looking into this and getting back to me.

I added the ARC maintainer and list on CC.

Thanx, Paul
