From 1cf8343f55525c09c88da0a494a96e1b034f84e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seiichi Ikarashi Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 17:58:14 +0900 Subject: x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAME The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and rflags register in it does not conform to the specification. Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1, this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack. [1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example, "crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like below: RIP: ffffffff8005dfa2 RSP: ffff8104ce0c7f58 RFLAGS: 00000200 [...] bt: WARNING: possibly bogus exception frame Signed-off-by: Seiichi Ikarashi Tested-by: Masayoshi MIZUMA Cc: Jan Beulich Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/include/asm') diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h index 2dddb317bb3..f8ab3eaad12 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ * EFLAGS bits */ #define X86_EFLAGS_CF 0x00000001 /* Carry Flag */ +#define X86_EFLAGS_BIT1 0x00000002 /* Bit 1 - always on */ #define X86_EFLAGS_PF 0x00000004 /* Parity Flag */ #define X86_EFLAGS_AF 0x00000010 /* Auxiliary carry Flag */ #define X86_EFLAGS_ZF 0x00000040 /* Zero Flag */ -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
