[PATCH] x86/kexec: store segment registers directly to memory in crash_setup_regs()
Posted by Uros Bizjak 1 week, 1 day ago
crash_setup_regs() currently moves segment registers (ss, cs, ds, es)
into pt_regs via a general purpose register (%eax). Update the code to
avoid the intermediate register and store segment registers directly
to their destination fields. This reduces the generated code from:

 131:	8c d0                	mov    %ss,%eax
 133:	66 89 84 24 a0 00 00 	mov    %ax,0xa0(%rsp)
 13a:	00
 13b:	8c c8                	mov    %cs,%eax
 13d:	66 89 84 24 88 00 00 	mov    %ax,0x88(%rsp)
 144:	00

to:

 131:	8c 94 24 a0 00 00 00 	mov    %ss,0xa0(%rsp)
 138:	8c 8c 24 88 00 00 00 	mov    %cs,0x88(%rsp)

No functional change intended.
