    As UML does no longer need asmregparm we can remove it.

  • bb7f5f6c2   x86: shrink __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR definitions ... Browse Code »

    Impact: cleanup

    1) .p2align 4 and .align 16 are the same meaning
    (until a.out format for i386 is used which is
    not our case for CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16 anyway)

    2) having 15 as max allowed bytes to be skipped
    does not make sense on modulo 16

    Any assembler specific snippets being placed in headers
    are to be protected by __ASSEMBLY__. Fixed.

    Also move __ALIGN definition under the same protection as well.

  • 1b25f3b4e   x86: linkage - get rid of _X86 macros ... Browse Code »

    Impact: cleanup

    There was an attempt to bring build-time checking for
    missed ENTRY_X86/END_X86 and KPROBE... pairs. Using
    them will add messy in code. Get just rid of them.
    This commit could be easily restored if the need appear
    in future.

  • 95695547a   x86: asm linkage - introduce GLOBAL macro ... Browse Code »

    If the code is time critical and this entry is called
    from other places we use ENTRY to have it globally defined
    and especially aligned.

    Contrary we have some snippets which are size
    critical. So we use plane ".globl name; name:"
    directive. Introduce GLOBAL macro for this.

  • 3b6c52b5b   x86: introduce ENTRY(KPROBE_ENTRY)_X86 assembly helpers to catch unbalanced declaration v3 ... Browse Code »

    Impact: make ENTRY()/END() macros more capable

    It's usefull to catch unbalanced or messed or mixed declarations of ENTRY and
    KPROBES. These macros would help a bit.

    For example the following code would compile without problems

    ENTRY_X86(mcount)
    retq
    END_X86(mcount)

    But if you forget and mess the following form

    ENTRY_X86(mcount)
    retq
    END(mcount)

    ENTRY_X86(ftrace_caller)

    The assembler will issue the following message:
    Error: ENTRY_X86/KPROBE_X86 unbalanced,missed,mixed

    Actually the checking is performed at every _X86 macro
    so maybe it's good idea to put ENTRY_KPROBE_FINAL_X86
    at the end of .S file to be sure you didn't miss anything.
