Yeah sorry I've been putting off dealing with it. Ideally we'd do the naming change earlier in the series, but maybe that's not worth it. The one thing I wanted to make sure was that regs->softe is never exposed to userspace. Because we're changing its semantics, and user space has no business knowing about it. So I just checked the code, and we do allow userspace to see the softe value. So I think we should fix that before this goes in. The safest option is to just hardwire it to 1, as that's the value it should always have in a userspace pt_regs. cheers
