Re: [Xen-devel] PIC register 'bx' clobbered in 'asm' - xen-unstable build error

The big question is why are you clobbering bx , dx registers on get
cpuid:
CPUID returns information in eax, ebx, ecx, and edx. With -fPIC you have to push ebx onto the stack before calling cpuid and pop it afterward as Bin points out is what the patch to xen-unstable does.

Regards,

        _asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid"
                         : "=a" (eax), "=c" (ecx)
                         : "0" (1)
                         : "bx", "dx");

You can change this to:
        
                _asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid"
                         : "=a" (eax), "=c" (ecx)
                         : "0" (1)
                          );

But I am not sure why this is there?

I have built xen-unstable on this machine before, so I don't believe it is a setup problem. Has anyone else observed this?
