From 5fdf5d37f40a3b18c0d613463867f71c017b75ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Ostrovsky Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:55:45 -0500 Subject: x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit: 5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path") ... the stack frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a "standard" one (i.e. it's not pt_regs). Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need to fix up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET path directly to xen_iret. We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does not need to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32 paravirt op (in the subsequent patch) Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
