When using LLVM's integrated assembler (LLVM_IAS=1) while building x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_KVM=y + CONFIG_KVM_AMD=y, the following build error occurs: $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.o arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c:2004:15: error: too few operands for instruction asm volatile(__ex("vmsave") : : "a" (__sme_page_pa(sd->save_area)) : "memory"); ^ arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c:28:17: note: expanded from macro '__ex' #define __ex(x) __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot(x) ^ ./arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h:1646:10: note: expanded from macro '__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot' "666: \n\t" \ ^ <inline asm>:2:2: note: instantiated into assembly here vmsave ^ 1 error generated. This happens because LLVM currently does not support calling vmsave without the fixed register operand (%rax for 64-bit and %eax for 32-bit). This will be fixed in LLVM 12 but the kernel currently supports LLVM 10.0.1 and newer so this needs to be handled. Add the proper register using the _ASM_AX macro, which matches the vmsave call in vmenter.S.
