Xen's raw SYSCALL entries are much less weird than native. Rather than fudging them to look like native entries, use the Xen-provided stack frame directly. This lets us eliminate entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs and two uses of the SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK paravirt hook. The SYSENTER code would benefit from similar treatment. This makes one change to the native code path: the compat instruction that clears the high 32 bits of %rax is moved slightly later. I'd be surprised if this affects performance at all.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
