Since SAVE_ARGS is going to be changed, open-code register saving/restoring here. Incidentally, this removes a bit of dead code: one SAVE_ARGS was used just to emit a CFI annotation, but it also generated unreachable assembly instructions. Take a page from thunk_32.S and use push/pop instructions instead of movq, they are far shorter: 1 or 2 bytes versus 5, and no need for instructions to adjust %rsp: text data bss dec hex filename 333 40 0 373 175 thunk_64_movq.o 104 40 0 144 90 thunk_64_push_pop.o [ This is ugly as sin, but we'll fix up the ugliness in the next patch. I see no point in reordering patches just to avoid an ugly intermediate state. --Andy ] Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: H.
