From 6041b57c6c99dcb59524f1bb0db0628c2689a464 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 22:22:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i386: work around miscompilation of alternatives code A recent change makes my Dell 1501 hang on boot. It's an AMD MK-36. I use an x86_64 kernel. It is 100% reproducible. I debugged this problem a bit and my compiler[1]interprets the =A constraint as %rax instead of %edx:%eax on x86_64 which causes the problem. The appended patch provides a workaround for this and fixed the hang on my machine.
