Subject: [PATCH] fix is_at_popf() for compat tasks
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a752d7194c4fb5a3e767c95542d04fc5decb1d52;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] fix is_at_popf() for compat tasks

When testing for the REX instruction prefix, first check
for 32-bit mode because in compat mode the REX prefix is an
increment instruction.
