Subject: x86/hyperv: Use any general-purpose register when saving %cr2 and %cr8
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc5~26^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afeb96cb188d44a61033d838fda0acaa11d1ff24;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

x86/hyperv: Use any general-purpose register when saving %cr2 and %cr8

hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save() in arch/x86/hyperv/hv_crash.c currently saves %cr2
and %cr8 using %eax ("=a"). This unnecessarily forces a specific register.
Update the inline assembly to use a general-purpose register ("=r") for
both %cr2 and %cr8. This makes the code more flexible for the compiler
while producing the same saved context contents.

No functional changes.
