Subject: Re: [PATCH for review] [127/145] i386: move kernel_thread_helper into entry.S
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 12:36:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44E1BFDC.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

Just like done in the x86-64 patch that I just sent, I'd recommend
moving
the push added yesterday outside of the CFI-covered region (so that
in the unlikely event of being caught at the push there won't be an
ill
assumption that a [fake] return address is already on the stack, or
that
there is a return address at all):

ENTRY(kernel_thread_helper)
	pushl $0			# fake return address
	CFI_STARTPROC
	movl %edx,%eax
	pushl %edx
	CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
	call *%ebx
	pushl %eax
	CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
	call do_exit
	CFI_ENDPROC
ENDPROC(kernel_thread_helper)
