Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] x86/xen: Make idle tasks reliable
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 10:26:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200326092603.7230-1-mbenes@suse.cz> (raw)
The unwinder reports idle tasks' stack on XEN PV as unreliable which
complicates things for at least live patching. The two patches in the
series try to amend that by using similar approach as non-XEN x86 does.
v2->v3:
- change prototype of asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle()
- replace %_ASM_SP with %rsp and %esp respectively
- fix build for !CONFIG_XEN_PV_SMP
v1->v2:
- call instruction used instead of push+jmp
- initial_stack used directly
v1 https://lore.kernel.org/live-patching/20200312142007.11488-1-mbenes@suse.cz/
v2 https://lore.kernel.org/live-patching/20200319095606.23627-1-mbenes@suse.cz/
