Subject: turbostat: Use GCC's CPUID functions to support PIC
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

From: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2b92865e648ce04a39fda4f903784a5d01ecb0dc upstream.
turbostat uses inline assembly to call cpuid. On 32-bit x86, on systems
that have certain security features enabled by default that make -fPIC
the default, this causes a build error:
turbostat.c: In function ‘check_cpuid’:
turbostat.c:1906:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’
asm("cpuid" : "=a" (fms), "=c" (ecx), "=d" (edx) : "a" (1) : "ebx");
^
GCC provides a header cpuid.h, containing a __get_cpuid function that
works with both PIC and non-PIC. (On PIC, it saves and restores ebx
around the cpuid instruction.) Use that instead.
