I expected to see this happen:

I get it, that's a lot of inline assembly, but also highly necessary if you're developing an OS ― and backing up registers to initiate a context switch is one of those areas in which developers have no choice but to get down and dirty.

So, using cargo bootimage ― which definitely worked before I wrote this code ― shouldn't be a problem here, especially given that there are plenty of crates out there that serve, to a degree, as safe abstractions. If the inline assembly has any syntax problems in it (reversed $1 and $0 for example which might be the case here) then the compiler should throw an error, not crash.

Instead, this happened:

No compiler errors are output, but the compiler crashes ― with, exactly as the title says, a segmentation fault, using an Arch Linux host.

Here's the GDB output ― and this is using the copied-and-pasted arguments that cargo bootimage is passing down to rustc whenever I try to build this project:

Thread 19 "rustc" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffe5b7f700 (LWP 291041)]
0x00007ffff1cb7b1e in llvm::SelectionDAGBuilder::visitInlineAsm(llvm::ImmutableCallSite) ()
   from /opt/rust/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/../lib/libLLVM-9-rust-1.45.0-nightly.so

Note that it's actually rustc itself that's segfaulting here ― this here is why I didn't file any bug reports with the cargo-bootimage crate maintainers: cargo bootimage invokes rustc to actually do the compiling, using a custom set of parameters that the above gdb output is preserving for posterity.

Also, the instruction that rustc is segfaulting in ― again, according to GDB ― is very clearly a line of LLVM inline assembly parsing code: llvm::SelectionDAGBuilder::visitInlineAsm(llvm::ImmutableCallSite) ()

Since this is really the only part of my project in which I use any inline assembly at all (the x86_64 crate is of great help elsewhere), I am fairly confident that the problem here is that something in Rust's LLVM implementation just can't handle this much inline assembly at one time. Hopefully there's a way to improve this upstream.

Could you post rustc -vV and nightly version which has worked before?

[kennystrawnmusic]

$ rustc -vV
rustc 1.45.0-nightly (fa51f810e 2020-04-29)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: fa51f810e5b9254904b92660e7280b7d6a46f112
commit-date: 2020-04-29
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
release: 1.45.0-nightly
LLVM version: 9.0

And the last nightly to work was one from March ― but that was also from before I wrote the code that triggers the crash.

[kennystrawnmusic]

Tried switching the argument identifiers around (i.e. $0 in the backup method and $1 in the restore method, as opposed to the other way around). Still crashes despite this change, so definitely not a programming error on my part.
