x86/asm/64: Clean up memset16(), memset32(), memset64() assembly constraints in <asm/string_64.h>
- Use "+" constraint modifier, simplify inputs and output lists, delete dummy variables with meaningless names, "&" only makes sense in complex assembly creating constraints on intermediate registers. But 1 instruction assemblies don't have inner body so to speak. - Write "rep stos*" on one line: Rep prefix is integral part of x86 instruction. I'm not sure why people separate "rep" with newline. Uros Bizjak adds context: "some archaic assemblers rejected 'rep insn' on one line. I have checked that the minimum required binutils-2.25 assembles this without problems." - Use __auto_type for maximum copy pasta experience, - Reformat a bit to make everything looks nicer. Note that "memory" clobber is too much if "n" is known at compile time. However, "=m" (*(T(*)[n])s) doesn't work because -Wvla even if "n" is compile time constant: if (BCP(n)) { rep stos : "=m" (*(T(*)[n])s) } else { rep stosw : "memory" } The above doesn't work.
