This is a pre-existing bug, but it seems to me that these read/write crX
asms should have a constraint to stop the compiler from reordering them
with respect to each other. The brute-force approach would be to add
"memory" clobbers, but the subtle fix would be to add a variable which
is only used to sequence:
static int __cr_seq;
static inline unsigned long native_read_cr0(void)
{
unsigned long cr0;
asm volatile("mov %%cr0, %0" : "=r" (cr0), "=m" (__cr_seq));
}
static inline void native_write_cr0(unsigned long val)
{
asm volatile("mov %1, %%cr0" : "+m" (__cr_seq) : "r" (val));
}
