Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry/32: Initialize ss1 (SYSENTER_CS shadow) even on non-SEP CPUs
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:56:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9c9840880a77775db676dfb425181ecd24c9377.1437677615.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)

native_load_sp0 relies on this.  I'm not sure why we haven't seen
reports of crashes.  Maybe no one tests new kernels on non-SEP CPUs.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

Of course, I haven't tested on a non-SEP CPU either.  Where would I
find one?
