Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel_rdt: Fix passing of value to 32-bit register

0-day kbuild test robot reported the following issue:

   arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c: In function 'pseudo_lock_fn':
>> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c:363:1: warning: unsupported size for integer register
    }
    ^
>> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c:363:1: warning: unsupported size for integer register

vim +363 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c

   361          wake_up_interruptible(&plr->lock_thread_wq);
   362          return 0;
 > 363  }
   364

The issue is earlier in the code, and in more locations, where (in 32-bit)
a u64 variable (i below) is used as the value of a 32-bit register:

                asm volatile("mov (%0,%1,1), %%eax\n\t"
                        :
                        : "r" (mem_r), "r" (i)
                        : "%eax", "memory");

The behavior in this case would be that only the 32 bit lower part of the
variable is passed. The variable is used as a counter in a for loop that
iterates over the pseudo-locked region and its maximum value is thus the
largest size of a pseudo-locked region. No pseudo-locked region currently
supported would need more than 32-bits for its size. There is thus no
potential for harm in the current state when using the u64 variable, but
this should be fixed.

Modify the variable with which the registers are initialized to be 64-bit
when used for 64-bit register and 32-bit when used for 32-bit register.
