[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/32be: use stmw/lmw for registers save/restore in asm

Wed Apr 18 03:08:18 AEST 2018


arch/powerpc/Makefile activates -mmultiple on BE PPC32 configs
in order to use multiple word instructions in functions entry/exit

The patch does the same for the asm parts, for consistency

On processors like the 8xx on which insn fetching is pretty slow,
this speeds up registers save/restore

 v2: Swapped both patches in the serie to reduce number of impacted
     lines and added the same modification in ppc_save_regs()
