[PATCH 6/6] openrisc: use scratch regs in atomic syscall

From: Jonas Bonn
Date: Tue May 08 2012 - 05:54:31 EST



The function sys_or1k_atomic was using call-saved registers without
restoring their value before returning. This is a faux pas: either
we need to restore their values or use scratch regs; the latter is
less code so that's the route this patch takes.

Thanks to David HennerstrÃm for doing most of the heavy-lifting in
tracking this one down.
