machine: fix a case of undefined behaviour with SP handling (riscv-so…
…ftware-src#245) The use of `asm` for register aliasing is supported in two different contexts: - local variables (including GNU expression statements) where it may only be used for specifying registers for input and output operands to extended `asm` syntax. c.f. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Local-Register-Variables.html#Local-Register-Variables - global variables where it may be used to observe the contents of a register. c.f. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Global-Register-Variables.html#Global-Register-Variables The two options here is to either to hoist the variable out into a global variable, but then it should not be in a header due to fears of ODR in case the optimizer does not inline it away, and thus becomes a bit more tricky. The alternative that this change actually adopts is to explicitly use a move to copy the value out via the GNU extended assembly syntax. With this change, it is now possible to build the Proxy Kernel completely with clang/LLVM and link with LLD. The generated kernel also runs under SPIKE and behaves as expected in a simple smoke test (without any executable prints the expected message, and runs a trivial RVV example).
