Re: [PATCH for review] [127/145] i386: movekernel_thread_helper into entry.S

From: Jan Beulich

Just like done in the x86-64 patch that I just sent, I'd recommend
moving
the push added yesterday outside of the CFI-covered region (so that
in the unlikely event of being caught at the push there won't be an
ill
assumption that a [fake] return address is already on the stack, or
that
there is a return address at all):

ENTRY(kernel_thread_helper)
pushl $0 # fake return address
CFI_STARTPROC
movl %edx,%eax
pushl %edx
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
call *%ebx
pushl %eax
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
call do_exit
CFI_ENDPROC
ENDPROC(kernel_thread_helper)
