percpu, x86: Fix percpu_xchg_op()
These recent percpu commits:
2485b6464cf8: x86,percpu: Move out of place 64 bit ops into X86_64 section
8270137a0d50: cpuops: Use cmpxchg for xchg to avoid lock semantics
Caused this 'perf top' crash:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G D
2.6.38-rc2-00181-gef71723 #413 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff810465b5>]

Looking at assembly code, I found:
list = this_cpu_xchg(irq_work_list, NULL);
gives this wrong code : (gcc-4.1.2 cross compiler)
ffffffff810bc45e:
mov %gs:0xead0,%rax
cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
jne ffffffff810bc45e <irq_work_run+0x3e>
test %rax,%rax
je ffffffff810bc4aa <irq_work_run+0x8a>
Tell gcc we dirty eax/rax register in percpu_xchg_op()
Compiler must use another register to store pxo_new__
We also dont need to reload percpu value after a jump,
since a 'failed' cmpxchg already updated eax/rax
Wrong generated code was :
xor %rax,%rax /* load 0 into %rax */
1: mov %gs:0xead0,%rax
cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
jne 1b
test %rax,%rax
After patch :
xor %rdx,%rdx /* load 0 into %rdx */
mov %gs:0xead0,%rax
1: cmpxchg %rdx,%gs:0xead0
jne 1b:
test %rax,%rax
