Subject: [patch 14/22] x86: be careful about tailcall breakage for sys_opentoo
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 21:39:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060421043945.GS12846@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060421043706.GA12846@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: x86-be-careful-about-tailcall-breakage-for-sys_open-too.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2045 bytes --]

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

x86: be careful about tailcall breakage for sys_open[at] too

Came up through a quick grep for other cases similar to the ftruncate()
one in commit 0a489cb3b6a7b277030cdbc97c2c65905db94536.

Also, add a comment, so that people who read the code understand why we
do what looks like a no-op.

(Again, this won't actually matter to any sane user, since libc will
save and restore the register gcc stomps on, but it's still wrong to
stomp on it)
