[PATCH] Revert "x86/uaccess: Add stack frame output operand in get_user() inline asm"

From: Matthias Kaehlcke
Date: Wed Jul 12 2017 - 17:28:02 EST


Commit f05058c4d652 supposedly "forces a stack frame to be created before
the inline asm code if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled by listing the
stack pointer as an output operand for the get_user() inline assembly
statement.". This doesn't work as intended, at least with gcc v4.9.2 and
x86-64 the generated code is exactly the same with and without the patch.
However clang adds an extra instruction that adjusts %rsp, which ends up
causing double faults all over the place.
