Commit c22c80431055 ("MIPS: Fix input modify in
__write_64bit_c0_split()") modified __write_64bit_c0_split() constraints
such that we have both an input & an output which we hope to assign to
the same registers, and modify the output rather than incorrectly
clobbering an input.
The way in which we use both an output & an input parameter with the
input constrained to share the output registers is a little convoluted &
also problematic for clang, which complains if the input & output values
have different widths. For example:
In file included from kernel/fork.c:98:
./arch/mips/include/asm/mmu_context.h:149:19: error: unsupported
inline asm: input with type 'unsigned long' matching output with

We can both fix this build failure & simplify the code somewhat by
assigning the __tmp variable with the input value in C prior to our
inline assembly, and then using a single read-write output operand (ie.
a constraint beginning with +) to provide this value to our assembly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
