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 <s.ikarashi@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Masayoshi MIZUMA <m.mizuma@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> |
