    MIPS: Tracing: Reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5 · fc49a3be
    Wu Zhangjin authored
    A new option -mmcount-ra-address for gcc 4.5 have been sent by David
    Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> in the thread "MIPS: Add option to
    pass return address location to _mcount", which help to record the
    location of the return address(ra) for the function graph tracer of MIPS
    to hijack the return address easier and safer. that option used the
    $12(t0) register by default, so, we reserve it for it, and use t1,t2,t3
    instead of t0,t1,t2.
