Hrm. ePAPR hypercalls are allowed to clobber lr, right? But our hypercall entry code depends on lr staying alive:

.global epapr_hypercall_start
epapr_hypercall_start:
        li      r3, -1
        nop
        nop
        nop
        blr

So I suppose for this to work, we'd have to store lr off to the stack before doing the hypercall in epapr_hypercall_start.

ePAPR 1.1 says LR is nonvolatile.

Why is it in the clobber list then? Not complaining - we need to have it in there for the bl to work out - but still surprised.

arch/powerpc/include/asm/epapr_hcalls.h:#define EV_HCALL_CLOBBERS "r0", "r12", "xer", "ctr", "lr", "cc", "memory"

Because the inline assembly code is clobbering it -- not the hv-provided
hcall instructions.

Only after the change, not before it.

Hmm.  The comment says, "XER, CTR, and LR are currently listed as
clobbers because it's uncertain whether they will be clobbered."  Maybe
it dates back to when the ABI was still being discussed?  Timur, do you
recall?

In any case, LR is nonvolatile in the spec and in the implementations I
know about (KVM and Topaz).

Nope, sorry.  I'm sure we discussed this and looked at the code.  My guess
is that we weren't certain what the compiler was going to do at the time.

I'm still a little confused.  Which inline assembly code is clobbering LR?
 Are you talking about the "BL" instruction, which wasn't there before?

I'm not sure how the compiler is involved here -- we're just telling it
what our asm code (and the asm code in the hypervisor) will do.

Yes, I didn't realize that LR had been in the clobber list before that.

So are you saying that it was wrong before, but it's correct now?

Not really *wrong* before, but unnecessary.

In that case, my code was really just ahead of its time. :-)
