MdePkg/BaseSynchronizationLib: Fix InternalSync[De|In]crement
REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303 Today's code generates assembly code as below for InternalSyncIncrement: __asm__ __volatile__ ( "movl $1, %%eax \n\t" "lock \n\t" "xadd %%eax, %1 \n\t" "inc %%eax \n\t" : "=a" (Result), // %0 "+m" (*Value) // %1 : // no inputs that aren't also outputs : "memory", "cc" ); 0: 55 pushl %ebp 1: 89 e5 movl %esp, %ebp 3: 8b 45 08 movl 8(%ebp), %eax 6: b8 01 00 00 00 movl $1, %eax b: f0 lock c: 0f c1 00 xaddl %eax, _InternalSyncIncrement(%eax) f: 40 incl %eax 10: 5d popl %ebp 11: c3 retl Line #3 and Line #6 both use EAX as destination register. Line #c uses EAX and (EAX). The output operand "=a" tells GCC that EAX is used for output. But GCC only assumes that EAX will be used in the very last instruction. Per GCC document, "Use the '&' constraint modifier on all output operands that must not overlap an input. Otherwise, GCC may allocate the output operand in the same register as an unrelated input operand, on the assumption that the assembler code consumes its inputs before producing outputs. This assumption may be false if the assembler code actually consists of more than one instruction." "=&a" should be used to tell GCC not use EAX before the assembly.
