Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: preserve the ebx value in acpi_copy_wakeup_routine
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 00:11:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200706030011.43733.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)

From: Tian Kevin <kevin.tian@intel.com>

Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register"
for position-independent code. For absolute code, %ebx serves
as a local register and has no specified role in the function
calling sequence. In either case, a function must preserve the
register value for the caller.

acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it,
this may corrupt the called data.

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi,
however sometimes compiler also uses %ebx. When this happens,
suspends fails since sleep value in ebx is changed by
acpi_copy_wakeup_routine.

The same funtion in X86_64 doesn't have this problem.
