[PATCH 4.14 035/159] x86/entry/64: Remove the restore_c_regs_and_iret label

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 03:59:53 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9da78ba6b47b46428cfdfc0851511ab29c869798 upstream.

The only user was the 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET failure path, and
that path didn't really need it. This change makes the
opportunistic SYSRET code a bit more straightforward and gets rid of
the label.
