27 /* We do profiling as described in the SYSV ELF ABI, _mcount is called
28 with the address of a data word in r0 (that is different for every
29 routine, initialised to 0, and otherwise unused). The caller has put
30 the address the caller will return to in the usual place on the stack,
31 4(r1). _mcount is responsible for ensuring that when it returns no
32 argument-passing registers are disturbed, and that the LR is set back
33 to (what the caller sees as) 4(r1).
35 This is intended so that the following code can be inserted at the
36 front of any routine without changing the routine:
51 /* We need to save the parameter-passing registers. */
65 bl JUMPTARGET(__mcount_internal)
67 /* Restore the registers... */
82 /* ...unwind the stack frame, and return to your usual programming. */
