[PATCH 1/1] x86: Make _syscallX() macros compile in PIC mode on i386

From: Markus Gutschke
Date: Thu Mar 09 2006 - 18:30:42 EST


From: Markus Gutschke <markus@xxxxxxxxxx>

Gcc reserves %ebx when compiling position-independent-code on i386. This means, the _syscallX() macros in include/asm-i386/unistd.h will not compile. This patch is against 2.6.15.6 and adds a new set of macros which will be used in PIC mode. These macros take special care to preserve %ebx.

The bug can be tracked at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6204
