Joerg Roedel a6b744f3ce x86/entry/32: Load task stack from x86_tss.sp1 in SYSENTER handler
x86_tss.sp0 will be used to point to the entry stack later to use it as a
trampoline stack for other kernel entry points besides SYSENTER.

So store the real task stack pointer in x86_tss.sp1, which is otherwise
unused by the hardware, as Linux doesn't make use of Ring 1.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
