Subject: Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Define USE_PPC64_NOTOC iff compiler and linker also supports it
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 21:35:08 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YYpV5B/5j+KkOwSI@squeak.grove.modra.org> (raw)

I have a question about powerpc64/ppc-mcount.S.  Why is the assembly
wrapper using ENTRY and a NOTOC call?  By using ENTRY you are saying
that calls to _mcount must have r2 valid.  Given that r2 is valid, why
then use NOTOC?
