Oh, yeah I guess it would be good to be consistent. Rather than drop the ifdefs, would you (Marc) be ok with conditionally setting NR_CTX_REGS based on CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK, and doing so in KVM? (So 3 ifdefs, rather than 0)?
Without any conditionals or comments, it's not clear why x18 is being saved and restored (unless git blame survives, or a comment is added in place of the ifdefs in v6). -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
