From aa21df0424468dbd991440d41ba0f700c5997103 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:06:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/64: Do not guess user_regs->cs, ss, sp in get_regs_user() After recent changes to syscall entry points, user_regs->{cs,ss,sp} are always correct. (They used to be undefined while in syscalls). We can report them reliably, without guessing.
