Subject: ARM: 8170/1: Add global named register current_stack_pointer for ARM
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0abc08baf2ddf61a37d375a9fb832be612f9c5a5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ARM: 8170/1: Add global named register current_stack_pointer for ARM

Define a global named register for current_stack_pointer. The use of this new
variable guarantees that both gcc and clang can access this register in C code.
