As recently pointed out by Thomas, if a register is forced for two
different register variables, among them one is used as "+" (both input
and output) and another is only used as input, Clang would treat the
conflicting input parameters as undefined behaviour and optimize away
the argument assignment.
Instead use "=r" (only output) for the output parameter and "r" (only
input) for the input parameter.
While the example from the GCC documentation uses "0" for the input
parameter, this is not necessary as confirmed by the GCC developers and "r"
matches what the other architectures' vDSO implementations are using.

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 reStructuredText 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.
