The 'ld' and 'std' instructions require a 4-byte aligned displacement because they are DS-form instructions. But the "m" asm constraint doesn't enforce that. That can lead to build errors if the compiler chooses a non-aligned displacement, as seen with GCC 14: /tmp/ccuSzwiR.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccuSzwiR.s:2579: Error: operand out of domain (39 is not a multiple of 4) make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:229: net/core/page_pool.o] Error 1 Dumping the generated assembler shows: ld 8,39(8) # MEM[(const struct atomic64_t *)_29].counter, t Use the YZ constraints to tell the compiler either to generate a DS-form displacement, or use an X-form instruction, either of which prevents the build error. See commit2d43cc701b("powerpc/uaccess: Fix build errors seen with GCC 13/14") for more details on the constraint letters.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
