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.
