Ard Biesheuvel 1d9a735d4e x86/decompressor: Don't rely on upper 32 bits of GPRs being preserved [ Upstream commit `264b82fdb4` ] The 4-to-5 level mode switch trampoline disables long mode and paging in order to be able to flick the LA57 bit. According to section 3.4.1.1 of the x86 architecture manual [0], 64-bit GPRs might not retain the upper 32 bits of their contents across such a mode switch. Given that RBP, RBX and RSI are live at this point, preserve them on the stack, along with the return address that might be above 4G as well. [0] Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1: Basic Architecture "Because the upper 32 bits of 64-bit general-purpose registers are undefined in 32-bit modes, the upper 32 bits of any general-purpose register are not preserved when switching from 64-bit mode to a 32-bit mode (to protected mode or compatibility mode). Software must not depend on these bits to maintain a value after a 64-bit to 32-bit mode switch."

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
