From ff593e5abebd899b0b41c11280e2fbeff4103375 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Vivier Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 14:18:55 +0200 Subject: KVM: VMX: Let gcc to choose which registers to save (i386) This patch lets GCC to determine which registers to save when we switch to/from a VCPU in the case of intel i386. * Original code saves following registers: eax, ebx, ecx, edx, edi, esi, ebp (using popa) * Patched code: - informs GCC that we modify following registers using the clobber description: ebx, edi, rsi - doesn't save eax because it is an output operand (vmx->fail) - cannot put ecx in clobber description because it is an input operand, but as we modify it and we want to keep its value (vcpu), we must save it (pop/push) - ebp is saved (pop/push) because GCC seems to ignore its use the clobber description. - edx is saved (pop/push) because it is reserved by GCC (REGPARM) and cannot be put in the clobber description. - line "mov (%%esp), %3 \n\t" has been removed because %3 is ecx and ecx is restored just after.
