Subject[PATCH 48/74] x86, lto: Use inline assembler instead of global register variable to get sp
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

LTO in gcc 4.6/47. has trouble with global register variables. They were used
to read the stack pointer. Use a simple inline assembler statement instead.

I verified this generates the same binary (on 64bit) as the original
register variable.
