From 7209a75d2009dbf7745e2fd354abf25c3deb3ca3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 08:34:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64/entry/xen: Do not invoke espfix64 on Xen This moves the espfix64 logic into native_iret. To make this work, it gets rid of the native patch for INTERRUPT_RETURN: INTERRUPT_RETURN on native kernels is now 'jmp native_iret'. This changes the 16-bit SS behavior on Xen from OOPSing to leaking some bits of the Xen hypervisor's RSP (I think). [ hpa: this is a nonzero cost on native, but probably not enough to measure. Xen needs to fix this in their own code, probably doing something equivalent to espfix64. ] Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7b8f1d8ef6597cb16ae004a43c56980a7de3cf94.1406129132.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.
