Use register g6 for the per-CPU control of the current processor. The register g6 is reserved for the operating system by the SPARC ABI. On Linux register g6 is used for a similar purpose with the same method since 1996. The register g6 must be initialized during system startup and then must remain unchanged. Since the per-CPU control is used in all critical sections of the operating system, this is a performance optimization for the operating system core procedures. An additional benefit is that the low-level context switch and interrupt processing code is now identical on non-SMP and SMP configurations.
