Subject: [PATCH] tile kgdb: fix bug in copy to gdb regs, and optimize memset
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:33:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453829629-4874-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@ezchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <DUB128-W66DCB8DE4A3DFA72EBCD879CC60@phx.gbl>

David Binderman pointed out that we were doing a full memset()
of the gdb register buffer and then doing a memcpy() to it that
was almost as big.  This commit optimizes that by only doing a
memset() of the registers that are intended to be zero.

While making this change I noticed that we were not copying the
link register (LR, number 55) due to a fencepost error in commit
f419e6f63c5a ("arch: tile: kernel: kgdb.c: Use memcpy() instead of
pointer copy one by one"), and I've corrected that as well.
