x86/entry/32: Restore FLAGS on SYSEXIT We weren't restoring FLAGS at all on SYSEXIT. Apparently no one cared. With this patch applied, native kernels should always honor task_pt_regs()->flags, which opens the door for some sys_iopl() cleanups. I'll do those as a separate series, though, since getting it right will involve tweaking some paravirt ops. ( The short version is that, before this patch, sys_iopl(), invoked via SYSENTER, wasn't guaranteed to ever transfer the updated regs->flags, so sys_iopl() had to change the hardware flags register as well. ) Reported-by: Brian Gerst <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Andrew Cooper <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <[email protected]> Cc: H.
