Subject[PATCH 1/6] arm: LLVMLinux: Add global named register current_stack_pointer for ARM
Date
From: Behan Webster <behanw@converseincode.com>

Define a global named register for current_stack_pointer. The use of this new
variable guarantees that both gcc and clang can access this register in C code.
