From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.18-rc2 commit 1cd5f059d956e6f614ba6666ecdbcf95db05d5f5 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I9JNPZ Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Paolo reported that the instruction sequence that is used to replace: call __static_call_return0 namely: 66 66 48 31 c0 data16 data16 xor %rax,%rax decodes to something else on i386, namely: 66 66 48 data16 dec %ax 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax Which is a nonsensical sequence that happens to have the same outcome. *However* an important distinction is that it consists of 2 instructions which is a problem when the thing needs to be overwriten with a regular call instruction again. As such, replace the instruction with something that decodes the same on both i386 and x86_64.
