Subject: [-mm patch] always enable regparm on i386
Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 21:50:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050108205049.GR14108@stusta.de> (raw)
The patch below always enables regparm on i386 (with gcc >= 3.0).
With this patch, it should get a better testing coverage in -mm.
If this doesn't cause any problems, I plan to send a patch to completely
remove the CONFIG_REGPARM option after 2.6.11 will be released.

Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3. This uses an different ABI
and passes the first three arguments of a function call in registers.
