So the alternative is something like:
__visible bool ex_handler_wuss(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr)
{
regs->ip = ex_fixup_addr(fixup);
regs->ax = -1L;
return true;
}
int err = 0;
asm volatile("1: INSN_WUSS\n"
"2:\n"
_ASM_EXTABLE_HANDLE(1b, 2b, ex_handler_wuss)
: "=a" (err)
: "S" (val), "D" (addr));
But I'm not at all sure that's actually better.
