Subject: inconsistent asm macro
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 17:45:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <424A04A9.9060703@c2micro.com> (raw)
In include/asm-mips/interrupt.h, the definition for local_irq_restore is
inconsistent in its use of .reorder/.noreorder assembler directives.
Other asm macros in interrupt.h are wrapped with '.set push' and '.set pop'.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the 2.96 mipsel-linux- assembler,
but it caused me a problem with my 4.0-based toolchain. (As it was the
local_irq_restore left the assembler in 'reorder' mode and a stack
pointer post-inc was reordered out of the return delay slot where it
belonged.) Luckily we have a sharp compiler guy who figured it out.
Thanks.
As usual, there may be a reason for this, but it took me a whole day to
find it, and I thought I'd point it out.
