Hi, I am implementing a kernel mechanism which is very performance oriented. Along my long critical path, there is a static variable that needs to be accessed quite a few times. This variable is a structure which is approximately 60 bytes big. In there any way I can "convince" my kernel (compiled with gcc) to access this variable using gp ? Is gp usually used for this purpose in mips-linux ? Can it be ? A while ago I saw a small discussion here about usage of gp for static variables, but it didn't provide any definite answers.
