Augustin Cavalier 07cfddfa0c kernel/x86: Rework handling of %edx in syscall handler (again.)
The previous change to this logic (9921f444625e360674f92db84ffae695492233a5)
apparently caused intermittent crashes with various applications. It
seems that EDX is not expected to be clobbered by functions that do not have 64-bit return values, and if it is, crashes result, like #19024.

This commit reworks the logic to not change %edx in the iframe at all
if we don't have a 64-bit return value, and then adjusts the debug logic
to clear %edx before invoking the post-syscall debugger hook. This means
we have to run the post-syscall debugger hook before clearing the
flags, but that should be fine (and perhaps even useful.)

Fixes #19024, and possibly other crashes that have cropped up on
32-bit x86 in the last few weeks, at least.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
