Callee-save registers being clobbered when entering userspace #12

Closed apsun closed 8 years ago

This is very dangerous. Since we don't restore ebx/esi/edi as the caller of process_run expects, we could corrupt the registers in the kernel if the way GCC arranges our variables changes. We should explicitly surround the call to process_run with clobbers.

Fixed in r11951.
