Hmm. I agree just lowering the stack pointer sounds a bit questionable. But if we use some other register to point into the protected zone, we should be fine? E.g., addi r10, r1, -0x40 C Save callee-save registers stvx v20, 0, r10 stvx v21, r6, r10 stvx v22, r7, r10 stvx v23, r8, r10 Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred.
