The SDM states that writing to ar.bspstore invalidates the ar.rnat register as a side-effect. This was interpreted as "bits in the ar.rnat register that correspond to registers whose value is on the stack are undefined'. Since we keep the kernel stack NaT- aligned with the user stack (i.e. the lower 9 bits of the backing store pointer remain unchanged when we switch to the kernel stack) bits that need preserving would be preserved. That interpretation is questionable. So, now, the interpretation is more absolute: ar.rnat is undefined after writing to ar.bspstore. As such, we write the saved value of ar.rnat back to ar.rnat after writing to ar.bspstore. Discussed with: christian.kandeler@hob.de Approved by: re (kensmith) |
