The second patch looks good to me, thanks. I can pick up the patches. A few comments about the first patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/commit/?h=x86/entry_irq_stack&id=3e2aa2102cc1c5e60d4a8637bff78d0478a55059 - It uses a '693:' label instead of '.Lirqs_off_\@:' - There's a comment I don't follow: "Anything that can interrupt us here without using IST must be *extremely* careful to limit its stack usage." What specifically could interrupt there without using IST? - Since do_softirq_own_stack() is a callable function, I think it still needs to save rbp. - Why change the "jmp error_exit" to "ret" in xen_do_hypervisor_callback()? -- Josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe live-patching" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
