Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] x86: Fix thread_saved_pc()
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:56:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466283378-17062-7-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1466283378-17062-1-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com>
thread_saved_pc() was using a completely bogus method to get the return
address. Since switch_to() was previously inlined, there was no sane way
to know where on the stack the return address was stored. Now with the
frame of a sleeping thread well defined, this can be implemented correctly.
