Subject: [PATCH 1/9] arm64: entry: use the callee-saved registers to save some registers
Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 10:52:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464576750-25160-2-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464576750-25160-1-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com>

This patch uses the callee-saved registers x19/x20/scno to save the
x0/x7/x8 which will be used in the syscall path.

This patch makes preparation for the trace code.
