From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 21:43:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/head: Remove confusing comment MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CVE-2017-5754 This comment is actively wrong and confusing. It refers to the registers' stack offsets after the pt_regs has been constructed on the stack, but this code is *before* that. At this point the stack just has the standard iret frame, for which no comment should be needed.
