Currently, "gcc-4.8.5-28.el7_5.1.x86_64" generates the following code for
me, from the XADD inline assembly added to "X64/GccInline.c" in commit

0000000000004383 <InternalSyncIncrement>:
UINT32
EFIAPI
InternalSyncIncrement (
   IN      volatile UINT32    *Value
   )

     4384:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
     4387:       48 83 ec 10             sub    $0x10,%rsp

   UINT32  Result;

   __asm__ __volatile__ (
     438f:       48 8b 55 10             mov    0x10(%rbp),%rdx
     4393:       48 8b 45 10             mov    0x10(%rbp),%rax
     4397:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
     439c:       f0 0f c1 00             lock xadd %eax,(%rax)
     43a0:       ff c0                   inc    %eax
     43a2:       89 45 fc                mov    %eax,-0x4(%rbp)
     : "m"  (*Value)           // %2
     : "memory",
       "cc"
     );

   return Result;
     43a5:       8b 45 fc                mov    -0x4(%rbp),%eax
}
     43a8:       c9                      leaveq
     43a9:       c3                      retq


The MOV $0X1,%EAX instruction corrupts the address of Value in %RAX before
we reach the XADD instruction. In fact, it makes no sense for XADD to use
%EAX as source operand and (%RAX) as destination operand at the same time.

may I get a fast review for this patch, please? The regression from
commit 17634d026f96 prevents OVMF from booting.

Sure. Reviewed-by: Ruiyu Ni <[email protected]>
