[PATCH 6.1 118/215] x86/boot/compressed: Avoid touching ECX in startup32_set_idt_entry()

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

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6aac80a8da46d70f2ae7ff97c9f45a15c7c9b3ef upstream.

Avoid touching register %ecx in startup32_set_idt_entry(), by folding
the MOV, SHL and ORL instructions into a single ORL which no longer
requires a temp register.

This permits ECX to be used as a function argument in a subsequent
patch.
