After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit 5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path"), the stack frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a "standard" one (i.e. it's not pt_regs).Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need to fix up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET path directly to xen_iret. We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does not need to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32 paravirt op (in the subsequent patch) Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <[email protected]> Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>
I know this has been in the tip tree --- when do you think this will go Linus tree? In the 4.4 timeframe?
Xen 32-bit PV guests are broken without this. Thanks. -boris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
