Hi! A litte thing I noticed and wonder about. I looked at error_code in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S. And this is how it starts (in 2.6.7): error_code: pushl %ds pushl %eax xorl %eax, %eax pushl %ebp pushl %edi pushl %esi pushl %edx decl %eax # eax = -1 pushl %ecx pushl %ebx My question is why the 'decl %eax' is 4 lines after the clearing of eax 'xorl %eax %eax'. Can't it just be put right after xorl? Of course you can put it anywhere you want, but I wonder if there is a particular reason to put it there, or is just some personal taste? /Michael -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
