From 6ba0efa46047936afa81460489cfd24bc95dd863 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2020 15:15:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/compressed/64: Disable red-zone usage The x86-64 ABI defines a red-zone on the stack: The 128-byte area beyond the location pointed to by %rsp is considered to be reserved and shall not be modified by signal or interrupt handlers. Therefore, functions may use this area for temporary data that is not needed across function calls. In particular, leaf functions may use this area for their entire stack frame, rather than adjusting the stack pointer in the prologue and epilogue. This area is known as the red zone. This is not compatible with exception handling, because the IRET frame written by the hardware at the stack pointer and the functions to handle the exception will overwrite the temporary variables of the interrupted function, causing undefined behavior. So disable red-zones for the pre-decompression boot code.
