[PATCH] x86/PV: use 64-bit subtract to adjust guest RIP upon missing SYSCALL callbacks
Posted by Jan Beulich 3 years, 2 months ago
When discussing the shrunk down version of the commit in question it
was said (in reply to my conditional choosing of the width):

"However, the 32bit case isn't actually interesting here.  A
 guest can't execute a SYSCALL instruction on/across the 4G->0 boundary
 because the M2P is mapped NX up to the 4G boundary, so we can never
 reach this point with %eip < 2.

 Therefore, the 64bit-only form is the appropriate one to use, which
 solves any question of cleverness, or potential decode stalls it
 causes."

Crap.  I folded the fix into my wrong tree.  Sorry.
