I will attach my comment to discussion.
I see the reason for naked attribute. I develop an embedded OS for small uC and
I would like to make a port for x86 Linux userspace. The scheduler for my OS
will behave as "fibres implementation". It will be similar to old fashioned
setcontext getcontext calls.
I need to compile following function:
void OS_NAKED OS_HOT os_context_switch(os_task_t *new_task)
{
arch_contextstore_u();
task_current = new_task;
task_current->state = TASKSTATE_RUNNING;
arch_contextrestore_u();
}
where arch_contextstore_u and arch_contextrestore_u are the architecture
depended function implemented by me in pure asm. arch_contextrestore_u will
make a return to address stored in task_current context (previously pushed on
stack by call (x86) instruction while calling os_context_switch).
The problem that I have is, that for x86 Linux environment, gcc does not
support the __attibute__ ((naked)). This attribute is supported on embedded
environments (bare metal) of all gcc ports that I found (like ARM, msp430-gcc,
avr-gcc etc).
So I'm the next person which waits for this implementation on x86 Linux.
