[PATCH fsgsbase v2 2/4] selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Add a missing memory constraint
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Fri Jun 26 2020 - 13:24:49 EST
The manual call to set_thread_area() via int $0x80 was missing any
indication that the descriptor was a pointer, causing gcc to
occasionally generate wrong code. Add the missing constraint.
