It turns out the kernel relies on barrier() to force a reload of the percpu offset value. Since we can't easily modify the definition of barrier() to include "tp" as an output register, we instead provide a definition of __my_cpu_offset as extended assembly that includes a fake stack read to hazard against barrier(), forcing gcc to know that it must reread "tp" and recompute anything based on "tp" after a barrier. This fixes observed hangs in the slub allocator when we are looping on a percpu cmpxchg_double. A similar fix for ARMv7 was made in June in change 509eb76ebf97.
