Ok, so can you do two other simple tests:
- just remove the "+ (long)&ret" entirely.
Now, usually gcc doesn't have issues with non-asm things, but that's an
odd way of getting the current stack address by lookin gat the address
of a variable that hasn't even been used, so maybe it triggers some
untested codepath in gcc (and thus the bug).
- if that doesn't make a difference, then remove the "get_cycles() +"
part instead.
The fact that "arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h:23" is mentioned in the insn
dump does make it look like get_cycles(), but on the other hand I'd
have actually expected it to be "arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:112",
because that is the location of the actual asm statement.
Just to see which part of it gcc has issues with.
