Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:55:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447970147-1733-2-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1447970147-1733-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>

After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit 5f310f739b4c
("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path"), the stack
frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a "standard" one (i.e.
it's not pt_regs).

Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need to fix
up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET path directly
to xen_iret.

We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does not need
to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32 paravirt op (in
the subsequent patch)
