Instead of using an "i" constraint with address-of operator and a 'c' operand modifier, simply use an ordinary "m" constraint, which the 64-bit compiler will translate to %rip-relative addressing. This way we also tell the compiler the truth about operand usage - the memory location gets actually read, after all. 32-bit code generation is unaffected by the change.

I notice this wasn't part of your 5.16-rc1 pull request, nor did it make it into Linus'es tree via any other route. May I ask what the plans here are?
I CC-ed you on the related mail I sent to the x86 maintainers: "Re: Which tree for paravirt related patches?" on Nov 4th, and Thomas Gleixner promised to look at your patch. Adding him to this response again in order to remind him. Juergen
