x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexit
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citirx.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Cc: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
