Jeff Dike 5b7b15afee [PATCH] uml skas0: stop gcc's insanity
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not
the authors), depending on the used GCC versions.

I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when
we have just replaced it, behind gcc's back.  The remapping and storage
of the return value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no
room for creativity.
