Nope, sorry. I'm sure we discussed this and looked at the code. My guess is that we weren't certain what the compiler was going to do at the time. I'm still a little confused. Which inline assembly code is clobbering LR? Are you talking about the "BL" instruction, which wasn't there before? -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
