The ptrace-gpr test includes some inline asm to load GPR and FPR registers. It then goes back to C to wait for the parent to trace it and then checks register contents. The split between inline asm and C is fragile, it relies on the compiler not using any non-volatile GPRs after the inline asm block. It also requires a very large and unwieldy inline asm block. So convert the logic to set registers, wait, and store registers to a single asm function, meaning there's no window for the compiler to intervene.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
