[PATCH 12/19] s390: do not bypass BPENTER for interrupt system calls

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

 



[ Upstream commit d5feec04fe578c8dbd9e2e1439afc2f0af761ed4 ]

The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the
standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical
section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the
BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with
the limited branch prediction.

Fixes: eacf67eb9b32 ("s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction")
