This code confuses me. You allocate 32 bytes on stack, save x0-x4
there, then you load ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_FID into w0 and
restore values of x0-x4, overwriting value written into w0. Am I
missing something?
The call to ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 does not return any value. Even
if it were, this code is executed on exception entry before jumping into
the trap helper. So you want to restore all the registers saved.
I believe you missed smc instruction in the code above.
Btw, you can use something like stp x0, x1, [sp, #-16]! to avoid
manual adjustment of sp. This will save you two instructions.
It was pointed out on Linux Arm that updating sp once *might* be faster
on some uarch.
So is this code is targeted for that some specific uarch? Then I would
like to see a comment describing why you choose this approach.
