Subject: [PATCH] bn_mul.h: fix x86 PIC inline ASM compilation with GCC < 5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes #1910

With ebx added to the MULADDC_STOP clobber list to fix #1550, the inline
assembly fails to build with GCC < 5 in PIC mode with the following error:

include/mbedtls/bn_mul.h:46:13: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’

This is because older GCC versions treated the x86 ebx register (which is
used for the GOT) as a fixed reserved register when building as PIC.

This is fixed by an improved register allocator in GCC 5+.  From the release
notes:

Register allocation improvements: Reuse of the PIC hard register, instead of
using a fixed register, was implemented on x86/x86-64 targets.  This
improves generated PIC code performance as more hard registers can be used.

https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-5/changes.html

As a workaround, detect this situation and disable the inline assembly,
similar to the MULADDC_CANNOT_USE_R7 logic.
