[PATCH] xtensa: fix threadptr reload on return to userspace

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

 



Userspace return code may skip restoring THREADPTR register if there are
no registers that need to be zeroed. This leads to spurious failures in
libc NPTL tests.

Always restore THREADPTR on return to userspace.
