[PATCH v2] Mini-OS: add some macros for asm statements
Posted by Juergen Gross 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Instead of having #ifdefs sprinkled around in x86 code, add some
macros defining constants for asm statements to address differences
between 32- and 64-bit mode.

Modify existing code to use those macros.

While at it convert the assembler parts of run_idle_thread() to a more
sane variant.

As you switch the if() to Xen style, why not also the asm()? Irrespective of
which precise style is meant to be used, the last closing double quote likely
also wants to be followed by a blank?

Here instead you look to be switching to Linux style. Was that intended?

As an aside, I think the construct is slightly problematic: In principle
the compiler could make a copy of idle_thread->ip on the stack. (It
won't normally, for code efficiency reasons.) That would break with the
earlier change of the stack pointer. Using an "r" constraint would
perhaps be better there. Yet if so wanted, that would certainly be a
separate change.

With the adjustments (or respective clarifications as to style intentions),
which I'd be fine making while committing so long as you agree:

Yes, indeed.

No, not really. I took Andrew's suggestion verbatim.

Thanks. I agree with the suggested changes (to spell it out explicitly: I
meant to use Xen coding style, as this is the Mini-OS style, too).
