This is inspired by an idea from @m-ou-se in #project-inline-asm in the Rust zulip. We can't use esi as an explicit inline asm operand, but we can request a register and test whether we got esi using
.ifnes
. When we do get esi, avoid swapping it into place.And, eliminate a redundant push/pop in
indirect_syscall5
.While here, add some comments and tidy up the arch/inline/mod.rs file.
