From 7c7a1f717327cc172b8e69518ea3075a8cdbb081 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ammar Faizi Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 17:47:04 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/delay: Fix the wrong asm constraint in delay_loop() [ Upstream commit b86eb74098a92afd789da02699b4b0dd3f73b889 ] The asm constraint does not reflect the fact that the asm statement can modify the value of the local variable loops. Which it does. Specifying the wrong constraint may lead to undefined behavior, it may clobber random stuff (e.g. local variable, important temporary value in regs, etc.). This is especially dangerous when the compiler decides to inline the function and since it doesn't know that the value gets modified, it might decide to use it from a register directly without reloading it. Change the constraint to "+a" to denote that the first argument is an input and an output argument.
