[PATCH 4.14 038/159] x86/entry/64: Simplify reg restore code in the standard IRET paths
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 04:00:03 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e872045bfd9c465a8555bab4b8567d56a4d2d3bb upstream.
The old code restored all the registers with movq instead of pop.
In theory, this was done because some CPUs have higher movq
throughput, but any gain there would be tiny and is almost certainly
outweighed by the higher text size.
This saves 96 bytes of text.
