selftests: kvm: Use a shorter encoding to clear RAX
If debug_regs.c is built with newer binutils, the resulting binary is "optimized" by the assembler: asm volatile("ss_start: " "xor %%rax,%%rax\n\t" "cpuid\n\t" "movl $0x1a0,%%ecx\n\t" "rdmsr\n\t" : : : "rax", "ecx"); is translated to : 000000000040194e <ss_start>: 40194e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax <----- rax->eax? 401950: 0f a2 cpuid 401952: b9 a0 01 00 00 mov $0x1a0,%ecx 401957: 0f 32 rdmsr As you can see rax is replaced with eax in target binary code. This causes a difference is the length of xor instruction (2 Byte vs 3 Byte), and makes the hard-coded instruction length check fail: /* Instruction lengths starting at ss_start */ int ss_size[4] = { 3, /* xor */ <-------- 2 or 3? 2, /* cpuid */ 5, /* mov */ 2, /* rdmsr */ }; Encode the shorter version directly and, while at it, fix the "clobbers" of the asm.
