x86/asm/entry/32: Do not use R9 in SYSCALL32 entry point
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
SYSENTER and SYSCALL 32-bit entry points differ in handling of
arg2 and arg6.

SYSENTER:
 * ecx  arg2
 * ebp  user stack
 * 0(%ebp) arg6

SYSCALL:
 * ebp  arg2
 * esp  user stack
 * 0(%esp) arg6

Sysenter code loads 0(%ebp) to %ebp right away.
(This destroys %ebp. It means we do not preserve it on return.
It's not causing problems since userspace VDSO code does not
depend on it, and SYSENTER insn can't be sanely used outside of
VDSO).

Syscall code loads 0(%ebp) to %r9. This allows to eliminate one
MOV insn (r9 is a register where arg6 should be for 64-bit ABI),
but on audit/ptrace code paths this requires juggling of r9 and
ebp: (1) ptrace expects arg6 to be in pt_regs->bp;
(2) r9 is callee-clobbered register and needs to be
saved/restored     around calls to C functions.

This patch changes syscall code to load 0(%ebp) to %ebp, making
it more similar to sysenter code. It's a bit smaller:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1407       0       0    1407     57f ia32entry.o.before
   1391       0       0    1391     56f ia32entry.o

To preserve ABI compat, we restore ebp on exit.

Run-tested.
