.previous in asm

hi,

Is there anybody can show me the usage of ".previous" besides the
document from AS website?

For the following code,

#define __do_strncpy_from_user(dst,src,count,res)			   \
do {									   \
	int __d0, __d1, __d2;						   \
	might_sleep();							   \
	__asm__ __volatile__(						   \
		"	testl %1,%1\n"					   \
		"	jz 2f\n"					   \
		"0:	lodsb\n"					   \
		"	stosb\n"					   \
		"	testb %%al,%%al\n"				   \
		"	jz 1f\n"					   \
		"	decl %1\n"					   \
		"	jnz 0b\n"					   \
		"1:	subl %1,%0\n"					   \
		"2:\n"							   \
		".section .fixup,\"ax\"\n"				   \
		"3:	movl %5,%0\n"					   \
		"	jmp 2b\n"					   \
		".previous\n"						   \
		".section __ex_table,\"a\"\n"				   \
		"	.align 4\n"					   \
		"	.long 0b,3b\n"					   \
		".previous"						   \
		: "=d"(res), "=c"(count), "=&a" (__d0), "=&S" (__d1),	   \
		  "=&D" (__d2)						   \
		: "i"(-EFAULT), "0"(count), "1"(count), "3"(src), "4"(dst) \
		: "memory");						   \
} while (0)

Thanks,
Neo

I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious
probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
