+# Some versions of binutils, not currently mainline as of 2019/02/04, support
+# an -mfix-loongson3-llsc flag which emits a sync prior to each ll instruction
+# to work around a CPU bug (see loongson_llsc_mb() in asm/barrier.h for a
+# description).
+#
+# We disable this in order to prevent the assembler meddling with the
+# instruction that labels refer to, ie. if we label an ll instruction:
+#
+# 1: ll v0, 0(a0)
+#
+# ...then with the assembler fix applied the label may actually point at a sync
+# instruction inserted by the assembler, and if we were using the label in an
+# exception table the table would no longer contain the address of the ll
+# instruction.
+#
+# Avoid this by explicitly disabling that assembler behaviour. If upstream
+# binutils does not merge support for the flag then we can revisit & remove
+# this later - for now it ensures vendor toolchains don't cause problems.
