From 778843f934e362ed4ed734520f60a44a78a074b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 16:56:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry/32: Simplify pushes of zeroed pt_regs->REGs Use of a temporary R8 register here seems to be unnecessary. "push %r8" is a two-byte insn (it needs REX prefix to specify R8), "push $0" is two-byte too. It seems just using the latter would be no worse. Thus, code had an unnecessary "xorq %r8,%r8" insn. It probably costs nothing in execution time here since we are probably limited by store bandwidth at this point, but still. Run-tested under QEMU: 32-bit calls still work: / # ./test_syscall_vdso32 [RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO [OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall [NOTE] R11 has changed:0000000000200ed7 - assuming clobbered by SYSRET insn [OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data [RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80 [OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall [OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data [RUN] Running tests under ptrace [RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO [OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall [NOTE] R11 has changed:0000000000200ed7 - assuming clobbered by SYSRET insn [OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data [RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80 [OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall [OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: H.
