From a6de5a21fb25cdbbdf3c3e9afd8481581c4f2464 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:00:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry/64: Use local label to skip around sycall dispatch Logically, we just want to jump around the following instruction and its prologue/epilogue: call *sys_call_table(,%rax,8) if the syscall number is too big - we do not specifically target the "int_ret_from_sys_call" label. Use a local, numerical label for this jump, for more clarity. This also makes the code smaller: -ffffffff8187756b: 0f 87 0f 00 00 00 ja ffffffff81877580 +ffffffff8187756b: 77 0f ja ffffffff8187757c because jumps to global labels are never translated to short jump instructions by GAS.
