Subject: [RFC PATCH 19/19] powerpc/64: ELFv2 use reserved word in the stack frame for the regs marker
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:54:40 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031055440.3594315-20-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221031055440.3594315-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
There are 4 unused bytes in the minimum frame in the ELFv2 ABI. At the
risk of causing a future ABI incompatibility, use this and save 16 bytes
from interrupt and switch frames.
