 [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH 2/4] ARM: Fix register constraints in run_in_exception_handler()
 Right now, run_in_exception_handler() takes an input in an arbitrary register,
and clobbers BUG_FN_REG.  This causes the compiler to calculate fn in the
wrong regsiter.
Instead, use `register asm()` which is the normal way of tying register
constraints to exact registers.
Bloat-o-meter reports:
  ARM64:
    Function                                     old     new   delta
    dump_registers                               356     348      -8
  ARM32:
    ns16550_poll                                  52      48      -4
    dump_registers                               432     428      -4
The other instruction dropped in ARM64's dump_registers() is an alignment nop.
No functional change.
