From 95695547a7db44b88a7ee36cf5df188de267e99e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2009 00:50:18 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86: asm linkage - introduce GLOBAL macro If the code is time critical and this entry is called from other places we use ENTRY to have it globally defined and especially aligned. Contrary we have some snippets which are size critical. So we use plane ".globl name; name:" directive. Introduce GLOBAL macro for this.
