The CALL_ON_STACK macro is used to call a C function from inline assembly, and therefore must consider the C ABI, which says that only registers 6-13, and 15 are non-volatile (restored by the called function). The inline assembly incorrectly marks all registers used to pass parameters to the called function as read-only input operands, instead of operands that are read and written to. This might result in register corruption depending on usage, compiler, and compile options. Fix this by marking all operands used to pass parameters as read/write operands. To keep the code simple even register 6, if used, is marked as read-write operand.

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.
