Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry args preparation
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 15:52:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433857975-8656-2-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1433857975-8656-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com>
We use three MOVs to swap edx and ecx. We can use one XCHG instead.
Expand the comments. It's difficult to keep track which arg# every register
corresponds to, so spell it out.
