From 1536bb46fac7672ef04aaaa6a3b07848314263bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 20:54:08 +0200 Subject: x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() Here it is not obvious why we load pt_regs->cx to %esi etc. Lets improve comments. Explain that here we combine two things: first, we reload registers since some of them are clobbered by the C function we just called; and we also convert 32-bit syscall params to 64-bit C ABI, because we are going to jump back to syscall dispatch code. Move reloading of 6th argument into the macro instead of having it after each of two macro invocations. No actual code changes here.
