Subject: [045/165] x86: Fix vsyscall on gcc 4.5 with -Os
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:14:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171503.743348082@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730171550.GA1299@kroah.com
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
commit 124482935fb7fb9303c8a8ab930149c6a93d9910 upstream.
This fixes the -Os breaks with gcc 4.5 bug. rdtsc_barrier needs to be
force inlined, otherwise user space will jump into kernel space and
kill init.
This also addresses http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44129
I believe.
