Hi Arnd, There are 3 patches like this in ILP32 series that change ABI for new targets. I've submitted them in separated series: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/25/574 They all seems to be acked by you. If you ready to upstream the series, I can rebase it and add riscv32 and nds32 exceptions. If Palmer and riscv people will decide to follow new rules, we can easily drop the exception. Yury
