From c65a2abb6c0a9ab1c70f5241716066c9480ce96a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeroen Hofstee Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 21:54:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: make gd a function for clang "clang does not support global register variables; this is unlikely to be implemented soon because it requires additional LLVM backend support" [1] Workaround it by obtaining the value of gd/r9 by an inline asm routine. Note there is no set routine added for ARM at the moment, since most if not all updates of gd from c are actually not needed for ARM.
