The preserve_most calling convention attempts to make the code in the caller as unintrusive as possible. This convention behaves identically to the C calling convention on how arguments and return values are passed, but it uses a different set of caller/callee-saved registers. This alleviates the burden of saving and recovering a large register set before and after the call in the caller." [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#preserve-most Introduce the attribute to compiler_types.h as __preserve_most. Use of this attribute results in better code generation for calls to very rarely called functions, such as error-reporting functions, or rarely executed slow paths. Beware that the attribute conflicts with instrumentation calls inserted on function entry which do not use __preserve_most themselves. Notably, function tracing which assumes the normal C calling convention for the given architecture. Where the attribute is supported, __preserve_most will imply notrace. It is recommended to restrict use of the attribute to functions that should or already disable tracing. Signed-off-by: Marco Elver --- v2: * Imply notrace, to avoid any conflicts with tracing which is inserted on function entry.
