Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] Revert "x86/speculation: Simplify indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()"
Date: Wed,  7 Feb 2018 00:03:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1517961794-14972-2-git-send-email-dwmw@amazon.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1517961794-14972-1-git-send-email-dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

This reverts commit 64e16720ea0879f8ab4547e3b9758936d483909b.

We cannot call C functions like that, without marking all the
call-clobbered registers as, well, clobbered. We might have got away
with it for now because the __ibp_barrier() function was *fairly*
unlikely to actually use any other registers. But no. Just no.
