From fe1042b1ef79e4d5df33d5c0f0ce936493714eec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 00:02:14 -0700 Subject: objtool: Split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into INSN_SYSCALL and INSN_SYSRET INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH is ambiguous. It can represent both call semantics (SYSCALL, SYSENTER) and return semantics (SYSRET, IRET, RETS, RETU). Those differ significantly: calls preserve control flow whereas returns terminate it. Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH that almost works by accident: if in a function, keep going; otherwise stop. It should instead be based on the semantics of the underlying instruction. In preparation for improving that, split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into INSN_SYCALL and INSN_SYSRET. No functional change.
