When compiling umip.c with -O2 instead of -O1, there are currently two problems. First, the compiler complains: x86/umip.c: In function ‘do_ring3’: x86/umip.c:162:37: error: array subscript 4096 is above array bounds of ‘unsigned char[4096]’ [-Werror=array-bounds] [user_stack_top]"m"(user_stack[sizeof user_stack]), ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This can be fixed by initializing the stack to point to one of the last bytes of the array instead. The second problem is that some tests are failing - and this is due to the fact that the GP_ASM macro uses inline asm without the "volatile" keyword - so that the compiler reorders this code in certain cases where it should not. Fix it by adding "volatile" here.
