[PATCH v13 02/23] x86/asm: Frame pointer macro cleanup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The asm macros for setting up and restoring the frame pointer aren't
currently being used.  However, they will be needed soon to help asm
functions to comply with stacktool.

Rename FRAME/ENDFRAME to FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END for more symmetry.  Also
make the code more readable and improve the comments.
