From 8c2c596f8f453ffa6ef3bf14abc48a86b5431e56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 13:23:10 +0000 Subject: arm64: entry: remove unused register aliases In commit: 3b7142752e4bee15 ("arm64: convert native/compat syscall entry to C") ... we moved the syscall invocation code from assembly to C, but left behind a number of register aliases which are now unused. Let's remove them before they confuse someone.
