From 968ff9ee56f1e3ed4ff4a6d10185865dc77d8f7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 21:22:36 +0300 Subject: x86, realmode: Remove indirect jumps in trampoline_32 and wakeup_asm Remove indirect jumps in trampoline_32.S and the 32-bit part of wakeup_asm.S. There exist systems which are known to do weird things if an SMI comes in right after a mode switch, and the safest way to deal with it is to always follow with a simple absolute far jump. In the 64-bit code we then to a register indirect near jump; follow that pattern for the 32-bit code. Signed-off-by: H.
