Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

7fc377ec · Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> · 2015-03-28 11:25:04 -07:00

Pull x86 fix from Ingo Molnar:
 "Fix x86 syscall exit code bug that resulted in spurious non-execution
  of TIF-driven user-return worklets, causing big trouble for things
  like KVM that rely on user notifiers for correctness of their vcpu
  model, causing crashes like double faults"

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/asm/entry: Check for syscall exit work with IRQs disabled
