If debug_regs.c is built with newer binutils, the resulting binary is "optimized"
by the assembler:
asm volatile("ss_start: "
"xor %%rax,%%rax\n\t"
"cpuid\n\t"
"movl $0x1a0,%%ecx\n\t"
"rdmsr\n\t"
: : : "rax", "ecx");
is translated to :
000000000040194e <ss_start>:
40194e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax <----- rax->eax?
401950: 0f a2 cpuid
401952: b9 a0 01 00 00 mov $0x1a0,%ecx
401957: 0f 32 rdmsr
As you can see rax is replaced with eax in target binary code.
This causes a difference is the length of xor instruction (2 Byte vs 3 Byte),
and makes the hard-coded instruction length check fail:
/* Instruction lengths starting at ss_start */
int ss_size[4] = {
3, /* xor */ <-------- 2 or 3?
2, /* cpuid */
5, /* mov */
2, /* rdmsr */
};
Encode the shorter version directly and, while at it, fix the "clobbers"
of the asm.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
