Looks like it is not the case. See discussion at 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/2a67c333893454868bbfda773ba4b01c20272a5d.1588079622.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr/

Seems like GCC uses the redzone and doesn't set a stack frame. I guess 
it doesn't know that the inline assembly contains a function call so it 
doesn't set the frame.
