It assumes # that value will remain unchanged even when calling VDSO functions. # Although r30 is non-volatile across function calls, the callee is free # to use it, as long as the callee saves the value and restores it before # returning. # # It used to be true by accident that the VDSO didn't use r30, because the # VDSO was hand-written asm. When we switched to building the VDSO from C # the compiler started using r30, at least in some builds, leading to # crashes in Go. eg: # # ~/go/src$ ./all.bash # Building Go cmd/dist using /usr/lib/go-1.16.
