Subject: x86/boot/64: Put a real return address on the idle task stack
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=595c1e645d9fd8561104b5680931f68a429aaa1c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86/boot/64: Put a real return address on the idle task stack

The frame at the end of each idle task stack has a zeroed return
address.  This is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a real
return address at that spot.  This inconsistency can be confusing for
stack unwinders.  It also hides useful information about what asm code
was involved in calling into C.

Make it a real address by using the side effect of a call instruction to
push the instruction pointer on the stack.
