Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32 to expect interrupts to be on
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:47:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c787110aba4d2b6fd45650fb78eb4f6053ecb677.1445021166.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
When I rewrote entry_INT80_32, I thought that int80 was an interrupt
gate. It's a trap gate. *facepalm*
Thanks to Brian Gerst for pointing out that it's better to change
the entry code than to change the gate type.
Suggested-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com>
Reported-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Fixes: 150ac78d63af ("x86/entry/32: Switch INT80 to the new C syscall path")
Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

I can reproduce Borislav's warning with an appropriate .config, and this
patch fixes it. I removed the Tested-by, because it's not the same fix
that Borislav tested.
