From aa0eecb07f27bea25a7cbe4150822be72493e574 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos O'Donell Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:32:46 -0500 Subject: [PARISC] Document some register usages in assembly files Document clobbers and args in entry.S and syscall.S. entry.S: Add comment to indicate that cr27 may recycle and EDEADLOCK detection is not 100% correct. Since this is only enabled when using ENABLE_LWS_DEBUG, the user is warned by the comment.
