Commit-ID: a6de5a21fb25cdbbdf3c3e9afd8481581c4f2464 Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/tip/a6de5a21fb25cdbbdf3c3e9afd8481581c4f2464 Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:00:11 +0200 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 13:17:39 +0200 x86/asm/entry/64: Use local label to skip around sycall dispatch Logically, we just want to jump around the following instruction and its prologue/epilogue: call *sys_call_table(,%rax,8) if the syscall number is too big - we do not specifically target the "int_ret_from_sys_call" label. Use a local, numerical label for this jump, for more clarity. This also makes the code smaller: -ffffffff8187756b: 0f 87 0f 00 00 00 ja ffffffff81877580 <int_ret_from_sys_call> +ffffffff8187756b: 77 0f ja ffffffff8187757c <int_ret_from_sys_call> because jumps to global labels are never translated to short jump instructions by GAS.
