Subject: [9fans] extern register
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:57:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ff0d3b569d90e25239067a766a061332@felloff.net> (raw)
the amd64 compiler reserves R14 and R15 for extern register
declarations. these are used by the kernel for the mach
and up pointers, but currently are not preserved during
system calls.
would it make sense to save and restore the two registers
on syscall entry/exit, so userspace programs could make use
of them for per process data?
