Assembly code produced is a bit weird. I think the compiler undoes what
you wanted to do:
46fb: 49 8b 1e mov (%r14),%rbx rbx = c =s->cpu_slab?
46fe: 65 4c 8b 6b 08 mov %gs:0x8(%rbx),%r13 r13 = tid
4703: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 4708 <kmem_cache_alloc+0x48> ??
4708: 89 c0 mov %eax,%eax ??
470a: 48 03 1c c5 00 00 00 add 0x0(,%rax,8),%rbx ??
4711: 00
4712: 4c 3b 6b 08 cmp 0x8(%rbx),%r13 tid == c->tid
4716: 49 89 d8 mov %rbx,%r8
4719: 75 e0 jne 46fb <kmem_cache_alloc+0x3b>
