A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case
472de63b0b
The SDEI handler save/restores the addr_limit using set_fs(). It isn't very clear why. The reason is to mirror the arch code's entry assembly. The arch code does this because perf may access user-space, and inheriting the addr_limit may be a problem. Add a comment explaining why this is here.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
