A simple code running on PIII 800,kernel 2.6.20 with SEP enabled causes a segmentation fault. The slice is as following.
#include <stdio.h> #include <sys/syacall.h> int main() { unsigned long ret=0; __asm__ __volatile__ ("movl %1,%%eax\n\tpushl %%ecx\n\t" "pushl %%edx\n\tpush %%ebp\n\t" "movl %%esp,%%ebp\n\t" "sysenter\n\t" "movl %%eax,%0" :"=m"(ret) :"b"(SYS_getuid)); printf("%d\n",ret); return 0; } More, when i enabled Kdb and set "bp sysenter_entry",it went with a catastrophic error errupted. - 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/
