The code in ia64_syscall_setup has several independent steps to execute. Interleaving the instructions from each step by hand to avoid empty slots is painful, not to mention error prone. Are there any tools available for this task?
I envisage a tool where the user defines the instructions required for each step separately, including the stop bits needed for ordering within the individual step. The resources used by each step must be disjoint. The user also defines sync points, where steps must start, end or join with other steps. The tool draws the DAG from the sync points then runs down the DAG, picking instructions from each step to best fill the slots. The output is all the instructions, nicely interleaved to give the minimum number of bundles. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
