Subject: jump instruction in delay slot
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 16:05:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200410191605.47543.thomas.koeller@baslerweb.com> (raw)
Hi,
the following code snippet is from
arch/mips/pmc-sierra/yosemite/irq-handler.S:
ll_duart_irq:
li a0, 4
move a1, sp
jal do_IRQ
j ret_from_irq
I wonder if this is correct. AFAIK, a jump instruction
must not occupy the delay slot of another branch or
jump instruction. Since the 'jal' returns to the first
instruction after the delay slot, I would expect the
effect of the 'j' instruction to be cancelled. Or
is this some kind of trick I do not understand?
