Loading the old stack pointer value back from the stack creates a bottleneck (via the store->load forwarding it requires). It could just use addi 1,1,-(%2) here, which can also be written as addi 1,1,%n2 (that is portable to all architectures btw). Please write the "+r"(r3) on the next line? Not on the same line as the multi-line template. This make things more readable. I don't know if using functions as an "i" works properly... It probably does, it's just not something that you see often :-) What about r2? Various ABIs handle that differently. This might make it impossible to share implementation between 32-bit and 64-bit for this. But we could add it to the clobber list worst case, that will always work. So anyway, it looks to me like it will work. Nice cleanup. Would be better if you could do the call to __do_irq from C code, but maybe we cannot have everything ;-) Reviewed-by: Segher Boessenkool Segher
