The 32-bit trampoline no longer uses the stack for anything except performing a far return back to long mode, and preserving the caller's stack pointer value. Currently, the trampoline stack is placed in the same page that carries the trampoline code, which means this page must be mapped writable and executable, and the stack is therefore executable as well. Replace the far return with a far jump, so that the return address can be pre-calculated and patched into the code before it is called. This removes the need for a 32-bit addressable stack entirely, and in a later patch, this will be taken advantage of by removing writable permissions from (and adding executable permissions to) the trampoline code page when booting via the EFI stub. Note that the value of RSP still needs to be preserved explicitly across the switch into 32-bit mode, as the register may get truncated to 32 bits.

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.
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.
