New Revision: 245414
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/245414
Log:
Update sigcode to use both the current ABI and FreeBSD's version of the
ARM EABI syscall calling convention.
The current ABI encodes the syscall number in the instruction. This causes
issues with the thumb mode as it only has 8 bits to encode this value and
we have too many system calls and by using a register will simplify the
code to get the syscall number in the kernel.
With the ARM EABI we reuse the Linux calling convention by storing the
value in r7. Because of this we use both methods to encode the syscall
number in this function.
