From 0100301bfdf56a2a370c7157b5ab0fbf9313e1cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gerst Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 12:38:19 -0400 Subject: sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for __schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all registers.
