Spilling windowed registers in userspace is much easier, more portable, less error-prone and equally effective as in kernel. Now that register spilling syscall is considered obsolete in the xtensa linux kernel replace it with CALL12 followed by series of ENTRY in libgcc.

(__xtensa_nonlocal_goto): Call __xtensa_libgcc_window_spill instead of making linux spill syscall. --- libgcc/config/xtensa/lib2funcs.S | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/libgcc/config/xtensa/lib2funcs.S b/libgcc/config/xtensa/lib2funcs.S index 4d451c8..ef0703f 100644 --- a/libgcc/config/xtensa/lib2funcs.S +++ b/libgcc/config/xtensa/lib2funcs.S @@ -34,10 +34,29 @@ see the files COPYING3 and COPYING.RUNTIME respectively.
