The SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER macro in interrupt.h used an inline assembly
feature to cause GCC to generate a unique number for a trampoline
label. Clang compiled the code using that feature without generating
any compile-time errors, but it always generated the number 0,
resulting in all interrupt trampolines having the same label names.
This patch replaces the usage of that feature with local labels, which
are supported by both GCC and Clang. See
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Symbol-Names.html for an
explanation of local labels.
The SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER macro defines and registers an interrupt
handler. It outputs a trampoline for the interrupt handler using a
block of inline assembly, and the address of that trampoline is what
is actually placed in the IDT. That trampoline invokes the main body
of the interrupt handler.
This patch adds a missing clobber list to the inline assembly block.
It simply lists the caller-saved registers defined by the cdecl
calling convention: EAX, ECX, and EDX. This is necessary, because the
inline assembly block invokes idt_set_intr_gate_desc using a call
instruction at the time the function containing the
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER instance is executed. The
idt_set_intr_gate_desc function is free to clobber EAX, ECX, and EDX
according to cdecl. A Clang-generated implementation of
idt_set_intr_gate_desc did in fact clobber those registers, resulting
in incorrect operation of the code following an instance of
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER. The change in this patch informs the compiler
that those registers may be clobbered so that it can adjust the code
that it outputs around the inline assembly block accordingly.
The x86/init/common/ folder holds all cpu initialization
code - idt and gdt setup, interrupts and cpu initialization.
On this folder will also sit any SoC specific implementation of
the functions called from cpu_init().
