Subject: [PATCH 1/2] syscall.2: arm: Use real register names for arm/OABI
Date: Tue,  5 May 2020 16:24:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1588692280-15878-2-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1588692280-15878-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com>

The arm OABI syscall interface is currently documented in terms of
register name aliases defined by the ARM Procedure Call Standard
(APCS).  However, these don't make sense in the context of a binary
interface that doesn't comply (or need to comply) with APCS.

Use the real architectural register names instead.

The names a1-a4, v1... are just aliases for r0-r3, r4... anyway, so
the interface is just the same regardless of which set of names is
used.
