Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/asm/entry/64: better label name, fix comments
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:18:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427303896-24023-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)
A named label "ret_from_sys_call" implies that there are jumps
to this location from elsewhere, as happens with many other labels
in this file.
But this label is used only by the JMP a few insns above.
To make that obvious, use local numeric label instead.
Improve comments:
"and return regs->ax" isn't too informative. We always return regs->ax.
The comment suggesting that it'd be cool to use rip relative addressing for CALL
is deleted. It's unclear why that would be an improvement - we aren't striving
to use position-independent code here. PIC code here would require something like
LEA sys_call_table(%rip),reg + CALL *(reg,%rax*8)...
"iret frame is also incomplete" is no longer true, fix that too.
