Subject: [PATCH 0/6] x86: Clean up fast syscall return validation
Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 09:44:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230718134446.168654-1-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch set cleans up the tests done to determine if a fast syscall
return instruction can be used to return to userspace.  It converts the
code to C, and refactors existing code to be more readable.

Brian Gerst (6):
  x86/entry/64: Remove obsolete comment on tracing vs. SYSRET
  x86/entry/64: Convert SYSRET validation tests to C
  x86/entry/compat: Combine return value test from syscall handler
  x86/entry/32: Convert do_fast_syscall_32() to bool return type
  x86/entry/32: Remove SEP test for SYSEXIT
  x86/entry/32: Clean up syscall fast exit tests
