From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 12:39:17 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Add gap to int3 to allow for call emulation
To allow an int3 handler to emulate a call instruction, it must be able to push a return address onto the stack. Add a gap to the stack to allow the int3 handler to push the return address and change the return from int3 to jump straight to the emulated called function target.
