commit1cd5f059d9upstream. Paolo reported that the instruction sequence that is used to replace: call __static_call_return0 namely: 66 66 48 31 c0 data16 data16 xor %rax,%rax decodes to something else on i386, namely: 66 66 48 data16 dec %ax 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax Which is a nonsensical sequence that happens to have the same outcome. *However* an important distinction is that it consists of 2 instructions which is a problem when the thing needs to be overwriten with a regular call instruction again. As such, replace the instruction with something that decodes the same on both i386 and x86_64.

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.
