I can't understand what's wrong here.

We have

	__get_kernel_nofault(&val, src, u32, Efault);
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64) && get_op(val) == OP_PREFIX) {
		__get_kernel_nofault(&suffix, src + 1, u32, Efault);
		*inst = ppc_inst_prefix(val, suffix);
	} else {
		*inst = ppc_inst(val);
	}

With

#define __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label)			\
	__get_user_size_goto(*((type *)(dst)),				\
		(__force type __user *)(src), sizeof(type), err_label)


And

#define __get_user_size_goto(x, ptr, size, label)				\
do {										\
	BUILD_BUG_ON(size > sizeof(x));						\
	switch (size) {								\
	case 1: __get_user_asm_goto(x, (u8 __user *)ptr, label, "lbz"); break;	\
	case 2: __get_user_asm_goto(x, (u16 __user *)ptr, label, "lhz"); break;	\
	case 4: __get_user_asm_goto(x, (u32 __user *)ptr, label, "lwz"); break;	\
	case 8: __get_user_asm2_goto(x, (u64 __user *)ptr, label);  break;	\
	default: x = 0; BUILD_BUG();						\
	}									\
} while (0)

And

#define __get_user_asm_goto(x, addr, label, op)			\
	asm_volatile_goto(					\
		"1:	"op"%U1%X1 %0, %1	# get_user\n"	\
		EX_TABLE(1b, %l2)				\
		: "=r" (x)					\
		: "m<>" (*addr)				\
		:						\
		: label)


I see no possibility, no alternative path where val wouldn't be set. The 
asm clearly has *addr as an output param so it is always set.

How should we fix that ? Will clang support .stabs in the future ?
