From 3c88c692c28746473791276f8b42d2c989d6cbe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 7 May 2019 23:25:54 +0200 Subject: x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs Currently pt_regs on x86_32 has an oddity in that kernel regs (!user_mode(regs)) are short two entries (esp/ss). This means that any code trying to use them (typically: regs->sp) needs to jump through some unfortunate hoops. Change the entry code to fix this up and create a full pt_regs frame. This then simplifies various trampolines in ftrace and kprobes, the stack unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb. Much thanks to Josh for help with the cleanups!
