This one should be defined as "asm volatile", otherwise the compiler will remove it (it has no outputs used later in the code!). Also, it should be defined as "asm volatile" when it is important that the insn stays where it is, relative to other "asm volatile"s. Otherwise, the compiler is free to schedule other insns, including other "asm volatile"s around . Since this macro is also used to update MSR_GS_BASE (so it affects memory in case of %gs prefixed access), "memory" clobber should remain). Uros.
