This patch would make your previous "Do not assume output registers be reservered" unnecessary, isn't it? It will automatically solve the problem you are trying to fix in previous patch. The real issue to me is that ia64_switch_mode_phys() creates a zero stack frame before turning off interrupt. If the zero frame alloc instruction is removed, the current register stack frame ought to be safe because they should be preserved by the interrupt return path. - Ken - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Jul 27 01:34:20 2006
