x86: fix switch_to() clobbers
Liu Pingfan noticed that switch_to() clobbers more registers than its asm constraints specify. We get away with this due to luck mostly - schedule() by its nature only has 'local' state which gets reloaded automatically. Fix it nevertheless, we could hit this anytime. it turns out that with the extra constraints gcc manages to make schedule() even more compact: text data bss dec hex filename 28626 684 2640 31950 7cce sched.o.before 28613 684 2640 31937 7cc1 sched.o.after Reported-by: Liu Pingfan <kernelfans@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
