Perdimos el comentario en alg\u00fan momento (creo que cuando se unific\u00f3 el c\u00f3digo de 32 y 64 bits), pero sol\u00eda decir: Supongamos que la funci\u00f3n de bloqueo no tiene marco de pila o tiene una copia de eflags de PUSHF. lo que explica por qu\u00e9 simplemente carga ciegamente una o dos palabras directamente desde el puntero de la pila y luego echa un vistazo m\u00ednimo a los valores para comprobar si podr\u00edan ser eflags o la PC de retorno: Eflags siempre tiene los bits 22 y superiores limpios, a diferencia de las direcciones del kernel, pero Esa suposici\u00f3n b\u00e1sica del dise\u00f1o de la pila supone que no hay ninguna depuraci\u00f3n de bloqueo, etc., que complicar\u00eda el c\u00f3digo y provocar\u00eda un marco de pila. Provoca la infelicidad de KASAN que Syzkaller [1] y otros [2] han informado durante a\u00f1os. Sin ninguna raz\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica real para esto, simplemente elimine el c\u00f3digo.
