From d75cd22fdd5f7d203fb60014d426942df33dd9a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:19:26 -0400 Subject: x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexit Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: xen-devel Cc: Stephen Tweedie Cc: Eduardo Habkost Cc: Mark McLoughlin Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c b/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c index 956f38927aa..946bf13b44a 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c @@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ static unsigned vmi_patch(u8 type, u16 clobbers, void *insns, insns, ip); case PARAVIRT_PATCH(pv_cpu_ops.iret): return patch_internal(VMI_CALL_IRET, len, insns, ip); - case PARAVIRT_PATCH(pv_cpu_ops.irq_enable_syscall_ret): + case PARAVIRT_PATCH(pv_cpu_ops.irq_enable_sysexit): return patch_internal(VMI_CALL_SYSEXIT, len, insns, ip); default: break; @@ -896,7 +896,7 @@ static inline int __init activate_vmi(void) * the backend.
