Commit-ID: 146b2b097d7a322b64b88a927fc5d870fc79a60b Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/tip/146b2b097d7a322b64b88a927fc5d870fc79a60b Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:18:13 +0100 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:57:05 +0100 x86/asm/entry/64: Use better label name, fix comments A named label "ret_from_sys_call" implies that there are jumps to this location from elsewhere, as happens with many other labels in this file. But this label is used only by the JMP a few insns above. To make that obvious, use local numeric label instead. Improve comments: "and return regs->ax" isn't too informative. We always return regs->ax. The comment suggesting that it'd be cool to use rip relative addressing for CALL is deleted. It's unclear why that would be an improvement - we aren't striving to use position-independent code here. PIC code here would require something like LEA sys_call_table(%rip),reg + CALL *(reg,%rax*8)... "iret frame is also incomplete" is no longer true, fix that too. Also fix typo in comment.
