Use CC_SET(z)/CC_OUT(z) instead of explicit SETZ instruction. Using these two defines, the compiler that supports generation of condition code outputs from inline assembly flags generates e.g.: cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi) jne 172255 <__kmalloc+0x65> instead of: cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi) sete %al test %al,%al je 172255 <__kmalloc+0x65> Note that older compilers now generate: cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi) sete %cl test %cl,%cl je 173a85 <__kmalloc+0x65> since we have to mark that cmpxchg8b instruction outputs to %eax register and this way clobbers the value in the register.

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.
