Subject: [PATCH 0/5] x86: Unify SYSENTER setup and add a 64-bit SYSENTER stack
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:31:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1437665045.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
These are boring patches. They're a cleanup, and something like them is
mandatory if we want to wean the 64-bit #DB handler off IST.
The latter will be useful if we want to eliminate the IST reprogramming
that we during NMIs unless we ban #DB outright inside NMIs. Even if we
ban #DB inside NMI, it'll still be nice to get reduce IST usage to the
bare minimum.

x86/entry/32: Clean up enable_sep_cpu to prepare for 64-bit merge
x86/entry/64, entry: Set up a valid sysenter stack and prepare for
32-bit merge
x86/entry: Merge 32-bit and 64-bit sysenter setup code
x86/entry: Only allocate space for SYSENTER_stack if needed
x86/entry: Replace SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK with SWAPGS in
entry_SYSENTER_compat
