This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/entry/64: Remove all remaining direct thread_struct::sp0 reads to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-entry-64-remove-all-remaining-direct-thread_struct-sp0-reads.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 46f5a10a721ce8dce8cc8fe55279b49e1c6b3288 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 00:59:14 -0700 Subject: x86/entry/64: Remove all remaining direct thread_struct::sp0 reads From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 46f5a10a721ce8dce8cc8fe55279b49e1c6b3288 upstream. The only remaining readers in context switch code or vm86(), and they all just want to update TSS.sp0 to match the current task. Replace them all with a new helper update_sp0().
