I'll change my big entry patchset to preserve these and maybe to > preserve all of the 64-bit regs. If you do that, this won't change the ABI: we don't _promise_ to save them. If we accidentally do, that means nothing. If you do that, the test won't fail. The code above does not require regs to be 0 - there is further code which also allow them to be unchanged. (I'm not very comfortable about additional six push/pops which are necessary for this to happen. I'm surprised maintainers tentatively agreed to that - I was grilled and asked to prove with measurements that *one* additional push+pop wasn't adding significant overhead). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
