[PATCH 03/31] x86/entry/32: Load task stack from x86_tss.sp1 in SYSENTER handler

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Fri Feb 09 2018 - 04:39:11 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

We want x86_tss.sp0 point to the entry stack later to use
it as a trampoline stack for other kernel entry points
besides SYSENTER.

So store the task stack pointer in x86_tss.sp1, which is
otherwise unused by the hardware, as Linux doesn't make use
of Ring 1.
