Correct, the return point of sysexit (SYSENTER_RETURN) is still in kernel space, but its annotations are invisible to the unwinder. We should make the VDSO be treated as user-mode code despite living above PAGE_OFFSET. >It's on my todo list to investigate but I still hope Jan does it first ;-) I'll try to, once I've got through moving the Xen code from 2.6.16 to 2.6.18-rc3 Jan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
