Nice! Yeah, the gcc backend for -pg was overhauled recently so it is a first class "lib call" meaning we get all the register save/restore for free as well as caller PC (blink) as explicit argument to _mcount void bar(int a, int b, int c) { printf("%d\n", a, b, c); } bar: push_s blink std.a r14,[sp,-8] push_s r13 mov_s r14,r1 mov_s r13,r0 mov_s r0,blink bl.d @_mcount mov_s r15,r2 mov_s r3,r15 <-- restore args for call mov_s r2,r14 mov_s r1,r13 mov_s r0,@.LC0 ld blink,[sp,12] pop_s r13 b.d @printf ldd.ab r14,[sp,12] @Eugeniy, this patch looks ok to me, but a word of caution. This won't work with elf32 toolchain which some of the build systems tend to use (Alexey ?) The above _mcount semantics is only implemented for the linux tool-chains. elf32-gcc generates "legacy" __mcount (2 underscores, blink not provided as arg) likely done by Claudiu to keep newlib stuff unchanged. Perhaps elf32 gcc can add a toggle to get new _mcount. And this is conditional to ARCv2 due to future ties into dynamic ftrace and instruction fudging etc ? We may have to revisit that for BE anyhow given such a customer lining up. -Vineet
