So sparse rightfully complains that the u64 MSR value we're
writing into the STAR MSR, i.e. 0xc0000081, is being truncated:
./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:193:36: warning: cast truncates
bits from constant value (23001000000000 becomes 0)
because the actual value doesn't fit into the unsigned 32-bit
quantity which are the @low and @high wrmsrl() parameters.
This is not a problem, practically, because gcc is actually
being smart enough here and does the right thing:
.loc 3 87 0
xorl %esi, %esi # we needz a 32-bit zero
movl $2293776, %edx # 0x00230010 == (__USER32_CS << 16) | __KERNEL_CS go into the high bits
movl $-1073741695, %ecx # MSR_STAR, i.e., 0xc0000081
movl %esi, %eax # low order 32 bits in the MSR which are 0
#APP
# 87 "./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h" 1
wrmsr
More specifically, MSR_STAR[31:0] is being set to 0. That field
is reserved on Intel and on AMD it is 32-bit SYSCALL Target EIP.
I'd strongly guess because Intel doesn't have SYSCALL in
compat/legacy mode and we're using SYSENTER and INT80 there. And
for compat syscalls in long mode we use CSTAR.
So let's fix the sparse warning by writing SYSRET and SYSCALL CS
and SS into the high 32-bit half of STAR and 0 in the low half
explicitly.
[ Actually, if we had to be precise, we would have to read what's in
STAR[31:0] and write it back unchanged on Intel and write 0 on AMD. I
guess the current writing to 0 is still ok since Intel can apparently
stomach it. ]
The resulting code is identical to what we have above:
.loc 3 87 0
xorl %esi, %esi # tmp104
movl $2293776, %eax #, tmp103
movl $-1073741695, %ecx #, tmp102
movl %esi, %edx # tmp104, tmp104
...
