Description:
------------
PHP 7.3.0alpha4 fails to build on Mac OS X 10.6.8 running on a Mac with a 32-bit Intel processor. Here is a log from the MacPorts automated build system:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_i386_legacy-builder/builds/45941/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

The error is:


Zend/zend_cpuinfo.c: In function ‘zend_cpu_startup’:
Zend/zend_cpuinfo.c:33: error: can't find a register in class ‘BREG’ while reloading ‘asm’
Zend/zend_cpuinfo.c:33: error: can't find a register in class ‘BREG’ while reloading ‘asm’

This is a regression; PHP 7.2 and earlier built fine on Macs with 32-bit Intel processors.

PHP 7.3.0alpha4 builds fine on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and later on a Mac with a 64-bit Intel processor, and on Mac OS X 10.5.8 on a Mac with a 32-bit PowerPC processor.

Please reopen; the problem remains with 7.3.0RC2.

Here is a full build log of the failure on 10.6.8 i386:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_i386_legacy-builder/builds/49799/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

For comparison, here is a build log of success on 10.6.8 x86_64:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_x86_64_legacy-builder/builds/77655/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

And a build log of success on 10.5.8 ppc:

I've attached a patch that compiles for me, on 32-bit Mac OS X 10.6.

What I've learned is that gcc 4.2 (at least the Apple-modified version
shipped in old Xcode) uses position-independent code (PIC) by default,
and that on i386 this compiler uses the %ebx register to store the PIC
global offset table, but the cpuid opcode overwrites %ebx, hence the
error. So %ebx needs to be preserved before calling cpuid and restored
afterward.

I've modeled my patch on the method used by cpuid.h from Xcode 5.1.1
on OS X 10.8, which is as follows:


/* PIC on i386 uses %ebx, so preserve it. */
#if __i386__
#define __cpuid(__level, __eax, __ebx, __ecx, __edx) \
    __asm("  pushl  %%ebx\n" \
          "  cpuid\n" \
          "  mov    %%ebx,%1\n" \
          "  popl   %%ebx" \
        : "=a"(__eax), "=r" (__ebx), "=c"(__ecx), "=d"(__edx) \
        : "0"(__level))

#define __cpuid_count(__level, __count, __eax, __ebx, __ecx, __edx) \
    __asm("  pushl  %%ebx\n" \
          "  cpuid\n" \
          "  mov    %%ebx,%1\n" \
          "  popl   %%ebx" \
        : "=a"(__eax), "=r" (__ebx), "=c"(__ecx), "=d"(__edx) \
        : "0"(__level), "2"(__count))
#else
#define __cpuid(__level, __eax, __ebx, __ecx, __edx) \
    __asm("cpuid" : "=a"(__eax), "=b" (__ebx), "=c"(__ecx), "=d"(__edx) \
                  : "0"(__level))

#define __cpuid_count(__level, __count, __eax, __ebx, __ecx, __edx) \
    __asm("cpuid" : "=a"(__eax), "=b" (__ebx), "=c"(__ecx), "=d"(__edx) \
                  : "0"(__level), "2"(__count))
#endif


It seems that cpuid.h is closely tied to and belongs with a
particular compiler. The cpuid.h from Xcode 9.4.1 on macOS 10.13 does
it differently, for example, but that's for a much more recent version
of clang. And since this code in PHP is only going to be used by
compilers that don't provide a cpuid.h, maybe using this old
implementation is the correct thing to do.

With my patch it compiles, but I don't know if the result is correct.
I don't know how this command is used within PHP. Is there a PHP
command I should run, or a particular test in the test suite that I
should look at, to verify it's working right?

I revised the patch to only preserve %ebx when building with PIC, after
looking at what libwebp did:

https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/blob/a4399721759f183bcc7c1d69c2f7eba1ceb8d1a2/src/dsp/cpu.c#L30

I see that their implementation for preserving %ebx is one instruction
shorter... not sure if it's worth changing it though.

If you'd rather have this patch as a PR let me know.
