Subject: [RFC 0/3] Baby steps toward cleaning up KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:52:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1424994489.git.luto@amacapital.net> (raw)
Denys is right that KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET is a mess. Let's start fixing
it.
This removes all C code that *reads* kernel_stack. It also fixes the
KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in ia32_sysenter_target.
It does not fix the KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in GET_THREAD_INFO
and THREAD_INFO. I think that should be its own patch.
It also doesn't change the two syscall targets. To fix them, we should
make a decision. Either we should make KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET have the
correct nonzero value to save an instruction or we should get rid of
kernel_stack entirely.
Andy Lutomirski (3):
x86: Add this_cpu_sp0() to read sp0 for the current cpu
x86: Switch all C consumers of kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0
x86, asm: Change the 32-bit sysenter code to use sp0
