[PATCH v4 06/27] x86/doublefault: Remove memmove() call

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use of memmove() in #DF is problematic when you consider tracing and
other instrumentation.

Remove the memmove() call and simply write out what need doing; Boris
argues the ranges should not overlap.

Survives selftests/x86, specifically sigreturn_64.

(Andy ?!)
