I have attached my proposed update. Comments/corrections are
welcome.
In a related question:
To better understand how this attribute is used, I looked at the
Linux kernel. While the existing docs say "only ... asm statements
that do not have operands" can safely be used, Linux routinely uses
asm WITH operands.
That's a bug. Period. You must not use naked with an asm that has
operands. Any kind of operand might inadvertently cause the compiler
to generate code and that would violate the requirements of the
attribute and potentially generate an ICE.
There is target hook TARGET_ALLOCATE_STACK_SLOTS_FOR_ARGS that is intended to
cater that case. For example, the documentation indicates it only works with
optimization turned off. But I don't know how reliable it is in general. For
avr target it works as expected.
