From a00394f81f419beb6fb9f7023bd4d15913dc625d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:19:30 -0400 Subject: x86, 64-bit: swapgs pvop with a user-stack can never be called It's never safe to call a swapgs pvop when the user stack is current - it must be inline replaced. Rather than making a call, the SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK pvop always just puts "swapgs" as a placeholder, which must either be replaced inline or trap'n'emulated (somehow).
