Subject: x86/boot/compressed: Avoid touching ECX in startup32_set_idt_entry()
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6aac80a8da46d70f2ae7ff97c9f45a15c7c9b3ef upstream.
Avoid touching register %ecx in startup32_set_idt_entry(), by folding
the MOV, SHL and ORL instructions into a single ORL which no longer
requires a temp register.
This permits ECX to be used as a function argument in a subsequent
patch.
