From: Brian Gerst Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 17:34:42 +0000 (-0500) Subject: x86, 32-bit: Use same regs as 64-bit for kernel_thread_helper X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e840227c141116171c89ab1abb5cc9fee6fdb488;p=linux-beck.git x86, 32-bit: Use same regs as 64-bit for kernel_thread_helper The arg should be in %eax, but that is clobbered by the return value of clone. The function pointer can be in any register. Also, don't push args onto the stack, since regparm(3) is the normal calling convention now.
