Subject: [PATCH FIXED] x86: only enable interrupts when kernel state has been set up
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:43:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47E83C99.3040800@goop.org> (raw)
The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately. Unfortunately
this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel
state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel
percpu data segment). To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after
the kernel state has been set up.
Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled
for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be
called without setting up %fs either.
[ Fix since last posting: make sure saved eflags has interrupts enabled. ]
