           Summary: MC assembler doesn't handle x86 'str' with arbitrary
                    operand
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

while compiling linux i get this error with integrated-as (gas as usual digests
it):

In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/elf.h:89:
arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h:253:15: error: invalid operand for instruction
        asm volatile("str %0":"=r" (tr));
                     ^
<inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here
        str %eax
        ^
1 error generated.

(with unsigned long tr;)

'str' can operate on a register operand bigger than 16 bits (it'll zero extend
the selector value) so this is a legal form of the insn. i didn't check but
'sldt' may need a similar fix if it doesn't handle this form already.
