    [PATCH] i386: fix prevent_tail_call · d68b8622

    We fixed this bug before, but it didn't take.  It may have been the case
    that the problem was first noticed to occur in a CONFIG_REGPARM compile.
    But it's not regparm functions that need not to make tail calls, it's
    asmlinkage functions called with a user pt_regs frame on the stack
    supplying their arguments.  prevent_tail_call probably doesn't do anything
    at all in regparm functions (your argument registers are going to be
    clobbered, period).  It was a braino to conditionalize that definition in
    the first place.
