Subject: [PATCH 3/9] x86/asm/entry/64: do not SAVE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_sigreturn
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2015 16:36:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427985378-4287-3-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427985378-4287-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com>

stub_sigreturn ignores old values of pt_regs->REG for all general-purpose
registers, it sets them to values saved on userspace
signal stack.

Which is hardly surprising - it would be a bug if it would use pt_regs->REG.
sigreturn must restore all registers.

Therefore, SAVE_EXTRA_REGS in it ought to be redundant.

It is a leftover from the time SAVE_EXTRA_REGS wasn't only saving registers,
but it also was extending stack to "full" pt_regs.

Delete this SAVE_EXTRA_REGS.

Run-tested.
