[PATCH 09/23] ARM: entry: rejig register allocation in exception entry handlers

Russell King - ARM Linux linux at arm.linux.org.uk
Wed Jun 29 05:21:54 EDT 2011


This allows us to avoid moving registers twice to work around the
clobbered registers when we add calls to trace_hardirqs_{on,off}.

Ensure that all SVC handlers return with SPSR in r5 for consistency.
