[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix and cleanup for 32-bit PV sysexit

The first patch fixes Xen PV regression introduced by 32-bit rewrite. Unlike the
earlier version it uses ALTERNATIVE instruction and avoids using xen_sysexit
(and sysret32 in compat mode) pv ops, as suggested by Andy.

As result of this patch irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 pv ops are not
used anymore by anyone and so can be removed.


v2:
  * patch both TEST and JZ intructions with a single JMP
  * Add magic prefix to X86_FEATURE_XENPV comment to avoid having it printed in
    /proc/cpuinfo
  * Clarify in commit messages why irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 are
    removed


Boris Ostrovsky (3):
  x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
  x86: irq_enable_sysexit pv op is no longer needed
  x86: usergs_sysret32 pv op is no longer needed

[PATCH v2 1/3] 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)

This whole series is:

Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto at kernel.org>

Now I just have to sucker someone into getting rid of
PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME (by using stub entries) and the
overcomplicated syscall entry stuff.  :)  And whoever gets rid of
PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME gets to wonder why it doesn't crash
and burn for NMIs on Xen, since I'm reasonably confident that it can't
possibly be correct.

I know this has been in the tip tree --- when do you think this will go 
Linus tree? In the 4.4 timeframe?

Xen 32-bit PV guests are broken without this.


Thanks.

Looking at this, it should be quite easy now.

ALTERNATIVE "", "pop %rcx; %pop %11", X86_FEATURE_XENPV

The Xen PV ABI only has a single kernel stack pointer which may be
registered.  There is no equivalent of an IST, so if a second fault
occurs, it is delivered normally on the current stack.

By the looks of it, the other NMI handling is ambivalent to the fact
that it isn't really on an IST stack under Xen.
