[PATCH 1/4] arm64: LLVMLinux: Add current_stack_pointer() for arm64

From: behanw
Date: Wed Jul 30 2014 - 19:57:52 EST


From: Behan Webster <behanw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Define a global named register for current_stack_pointer. The use of this new
variable guarantees that both gcc and clang can access this register in C code.
