hi all
Can anyone tell what does %1, %2, %a3 mean in the following line
"mov r0, %1; mov r1, %2; swi %a3; mov %0, r0". It occurs in the function
below :
do_AngelSWI (int reason, void * arg)
{
int value;
//It enters here
asm volatile ("mov r0, %1; mov r1, %2; swi %a3; mov %0, r0"
: "=r" (value) /* Outputs */
: "r" (reason), "r" (arg), "i" (AngelSWI) /* Inputs */
: "r0", "r1", "r2", "r3", "ip", "lr", "memory", "cc"
/* Clobbers r0 and r1, and lr if in supervisor mode */);
/* Accordingly to page 13-77 of ARM DUI 0040D other
registers
can also be clobbered. Some memory positions may also
be
changed by a system call, so they should not be kept in
registers. Note: we are assuming the manual is right
and
Angel is respecting the APCS. */
return value;
}
Thanks in advance
