Hi all! As I already mentioned in my earlier emails, I am working on a linux port for a new architecture. I'm now trying to define the "current" macro. I read that most architectures keep a pointer to the thread_info instance in some processor register, so I thought it will be perhaps ok if I'll do it too. Well, that's actually not a problem, since I can get the content of any register using inline assembly instructions. But which register should I use? I mean, where in the kernel is a macro or a function which stores the pointer to thread_info in some register? In other words, how do I find out which register is actually used by the kernel for storing that pointer? I also want to thank you all for your answers to my earlier emails. You have really helped me a lot and I'm glad, that I joined this mailing list!
