[Kde-hardware-devel] Call for help, BR: 201537

[Kevin Ottens]

Hello list,

A couple of days ago, I worked on a patch to make the 
Solid::Processor::instructionSets() method work for x86-64 architecture. We 
previously had a bug report because it was simply not doing anything on those 
CPUs.

Developed a patch which worked just flawlessly for me (Intel based x86-64 
processor) and committed it in trunk and the 4.3 branch as it seemed harmless. 
Turns out it wasn't that harmless:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201537

So I reverted in the 4.3 branch to not block the 4.3.0 release. Problem is 
that it still works nicely on my Intel processor, and the crash apparently 
shows only on AMD64 processors.

Since I can't debug this one or test a fix, is there anyone here able and 
willing to take a look at it? At least knowing where it crashes in the inlined 
assembly (I strongly suspect it's there) would help propose solutions to test.

Regards.
