This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me. AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were, it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash (presumably with a wrong user stack pointer). This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK. I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no _TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> |
