[PATCH 03/35] x86/entry/32: Load task stack from x86_tss.sp1 in SYSENTER handler

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

 



From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

We want x86_tss.sp0 point to the entry stack later to use
it as a trampoline stack for other kernel entry points
besides SYSENTER.

So store the task stack pointer in x86_tss.sp1, which is
otherwise unused by the hardware, as Linux doesn't make use
of Ring 1.
