Yes, at first I used ia64_setreg, but this problem was not solved.
if (sos->rv_rc != 1 && (kdump_send_ipi || kdump_on_init)) {
extern char __gp[];
local_irq_disable();
set_curr_task(cpu, previous_current);
/* change region of gp to region5 */
ia64_setreg(_IA64_REG_GP, __gp);
crash_kexec(regs);
The disassemble code:
a000000100047080: 0b 38 01 02 00 24 [MMI] addl r39=0,r1;;
a000000100047086: 50 02 9c 00 42 00 mov r37=r39
a00000010004708c: 00 00 04 00 nop.i 0x0;;
a000000100047090: 0a 08 00 4a 00 21 [MMI] mov r1=r37;;
a000000100047096: c0 02 80 00 42 00 mov r44=r32
a00000010004709c: 00 00 04 00 nop.i 0x0
a0000001000470a0: 17 00 02 51 02 14 [BBB] br.call.sptk.many
b0=a0000001000db4a0 <crash_kexec>
This disassembled code does not change content of r1.
Am I missing something?
