x86: do not allow to optimize flag_is_changeable_p() (rev. 2)
The flag_is_changeable_p() is used by has_cpuid_p() which can return different results in the code sequence below: if (!have_cpuid_p()) identify_cpu_without_cpuid(c); /* cyrix could have cpuid enabled via c_identify()*/ if (!have_cpuid_p()) return; Otherwise, the gcc 3.4.6 optimizes these two calls into one which make the code not working correctly. Cyrix cpus have the CPUID instruction enabled before the second call to the have_cpuid_p() but it is not detected due to the gcc optimization. Thus the ARR registers (mtrr like) are not detected on such a cpu. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
