From 39e8701f33d65c7f51d749a5d12a1379065e0926 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 17:48:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry/32: Open-code return tracking from fork and kthreads syscall_exit is going away, and return tracing is just a function call now, so open-code the two non-syscall 32-bit users. While we're at it, update the big register layout comment. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
