[PATCH 4/4] uml skas0: stop gcc's insanity

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Date: Sun Dec 18 2005 - 11:52:59 EST



From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not the
authors), depending on the used GCC versions.

I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when we have
just replaced it, behind gcc's back. The remapping and storage of the return
value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no room for creativity.
