The motivation is eventual ABI considerations for ARCv3 but even without it this change us worthwhile as diffstat reduces 100 net lines r25 is a callee saved register, normally not saved by entry code in pt_regs. However because of its usage in CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG it needs to be. This in turn requires a whole bunch of special casing when we need to access r25. Then there is distinction between user mode r25 vs. kernel mode r25 - hence distinct SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} Instead use gp which is a scratch register and thus saved already in entry code. This cleans things up significantly and much nocer on eyes: - SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} are now exactly same - no special user_r25 slot in pt_reggs Note that typical global asm registers are callee-saved (r25), but gp is not callee-saved thus needs additional -ffixed-<reg> toggle Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>
