Bug ID: 83401 Summary: cpuid function for leaf 7 may not be accessed when sub-leaf (%ecx) is undefined Product: gcc Version: 5.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: warnerme at ptd dot net Target Milestone: --- In the file cpuid.h, there is a problem with the definition: #define __cpuid(level, a, b, c, d) \ __asm__ ("cpuid\n\t" \ : "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d) \ : "0" (level)) With the ecx undefined, the leaf 7 (Extended Features %eax == 7) can not be accessed. Leaf 7 (%eax) can only be accessed when sub-leaf (%ecx) is 0 I suggest instead: #define __cpuid(level, a, b, c, d) \ __asm__ ("cpuid\n\t" \ : "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d) \ : "0" (level), "2" (0))
