Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Fix INVPCID asm constraint
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

So we want to specify the dependency on both @pcid and @addr so that the
compiler doesn't reorder accesses to them *before* the TLB flush. But
for that to work, we need to express this properly in the inline asm and
deref the whole desc array, not the pointer to it. See clwb() for an
example.

This fixes the build error on 32-bit:

  arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h: In function ‘__invpcid’:
  arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h:26:18: error: memory input 0 is not directly addressable

which gcc4.7 caught but 5.x didn't. Which is strange. :-\
