arm64: Work around broken GCC 4.9 handling of "S" constraint
GCC 4.9 seems to have a problem with the "S" asm constraint when the symbol lives in the same compilation unit, and pretends the constraint is impossible: $ cat x.c void *foo(void) { static int x; int *addr; asm("adrp %0, %1" : "=r" (addr) : "S" (&x)); return addr; } $ ~/Work/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -S -x c -O2 x.c x.c: In function ‘foo’: x.c:5:2: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’ asm("adrp %0, %1" : "=r" (addr) : "S" (&x)); ^ Boo. Following revisions of the compiler work just fine, though. We can fallback to the "i" constraint for GCC version prior to 5.0, which *seems* to do the right thing. Hopefully we will be able to remove this at some point, but in the meantime this gets us going.
