[PATCH v2 14/18] riscv: alternative: Allow calls with alternate link registers
Posted by Samuel Holland 2 months, 1 week ago
Alternative assembly code may wish to use an alternate link register to
minimize the number of clobbered registers. Apply the offset fix to all
jalr (not jr) instructions, i.e. where rd is not x0.
