We need a spare register for maskable gen addition. I think we can free r10 sooner and used it in addition like this: #define EXCEPTION_PROLOG(n, type, addition) \ mtspr SPRN_SPRG_##type##_SCRATCH,r13; /* get spare registers */ \ mfspr r13,SPRN_SPRG_PACA; /* get PACA */ \ std r10,PACA_EX##type+EX_R10(r13); \ std r11,PACA_EX##type+EX_R11(r13); \ + mfspr r11,SPRN_##type##_SRR1;/* what are we coming from */ \ mfcr r10; /* save CR */ \ + stw r10,PACA_EX##type+EX_CR(r13); /* save old CR in the PACA */ \ DO_KVM intnum,srr1; \ - lbz r11,PACASOFTIRQEN(r13); /* are irqs soft-disabled ? */ \ - cmpwi cr0,r11,0; /* yes -> go out of line */ \ + lbz r10,PACASOFTIRQEN(r13); /* are irqs soft-disabled ? */ \ + cmpwi cr0,r10,0; /* yes -> go out of line */ \ beq masked_interrupt_book3e_##n \ std r1,PACA_EX##type+EX_R1(r13); /* save old r1 in the PACA */ \ - stw r10,PACA_EX##type+EX_CR(r13); /* save old CR in the PACA */ \ - mfspr r11,SPRN_##type##_SRR1;/* what are we coming from */ \ type##_SET_KSTACK; /* get special stack if necessary */\ andi. r10,r11,MSR_PR; /* save stack pointer */ \ -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
