Subject: [patch 2.6.19-rc6] Stop gcc 4.1.0 optimizing wait_hpet_tick away
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 13:22:03 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19133.1164766923@kao2.melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)
Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux),
wait_hpet_tick is optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel
hangs on boot in timer setup.
0000001a <wait_hpet_tick>:
1a: 55 push %ebp
1b: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
1d: eb fe jmp 1d <wait_hpet_tick+0x3>
This is not a problem with gcc 3.3.5. Adding barrier() calls to
wait_hpet_tick does not help, making the variables volatile does.
