Andrey Ryabinin 196bd485ee x86/asm: Use register variable to get stack pointer value
Currently we use current_stack_pointer() function to get the value
of the stack pointer register. Since commit:

  f5caf621ee ("x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang")

... we have a stack register variable declared. It can be used instead of
current_stack_pointer() function which allows to optimize away some
excessive "mov %rsp, %<dst>" instructions:

 -mov    %rsp,%rdx
 -sub    %rdx,%rax
 -cmp    $0x3fff,%rax
 -ja     ffffffff810722fd <ist_begin_non_atomic+0x2d>

 +sub    %rsp,%rax
 +cmp    $0x3fff,%rax
 +ja     ffffffff810722fa <ist_begin_non_atomic+0x2a>

Remove current_stack_pointer(), rename __asm_call_sp to current_stack_pointer
and use it instead of the removed function.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
