While new compilers like
	s390x-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 7.2.1 20170915 (Red Hat Cross 7.2.1-1)
Complain, that R1 is missing, old compilers like
	gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)
will complain that R1 is not valid.

According to the architecture, R1 is valid but ignored. No idea why this
was changed (in a way that programs no longer compile).

Anyhow, let's just specify the instruction explicitly.

What a pity :-(

IIR, this was a bugfix. gcc is also used for TPF and they actually use TB and
the old binutils support for TB was architecturally wrong. Since TB is really
of no use for Linux this should not matter that much apart from the testcases
to test the KVM implementation.

Well they managed to break code, so this was indeed a bad decision.

With that Binutils change we only report an error for code which was broken anyway.

When writing this testcase the right thing would have been to report a Binutils bug instead of
writing a testcase which uses an instruction which isn't part of the POP.

Well it worked, so it wasn't broken. I would just have liked this
instruction to be fixed in a backwards compatible way (e.g. warning - or
is it just a warning and my gcc flags treat them as errors?).

Huh?

PoP - "Control Instructions" - 10-176 - "TEST BLOCK". Even can find it
in the Pop from 2004.

But anyhow, we have this fixed now. Was just wondering, why our
_working_ code suddenly broke (and now we have to use .insn to make it
compile with GCC in general).

Thanks.

One operand was missing. The ommitted operand was just 0 then. The instruction never did what the
user expected. That nobody complained about using it that way doesn't mean it was correct.

It wasn't in the POP the way the testcase used it - with just one operand. It was a bug in Binutils
since the very beginning probably.
