Subject: [PATCH] i386 machine_kexec: Cleanup inline assembly
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 13:01:18 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1r7dh308x.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
For some reason I was telling my inline assembly that the
input argument was an output argument.
Playing in the trampoline code I have seen a couple of
instances where lgdt get the wrong size (because the
trampolines run in 16bit mode) so use lgdtl and lidtl to
be explicit.
Additionally gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 want's an lvalue for a
memory argument and it doesn't think an array of characters
is an lvalue so use a packed structure instead.
