[PATCH RESEND v9 22/36] x86/fred: Add a double fault entry stub for FRED

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The IDT event delivery of a double fault pushes an error code into the
orig_ax member of the pt_regs structure, and the error code is passed
as the second argument of its C-handler exc_double_fault(), although
the pt_regs structure is already passed as the first argument.

The existing IDT double fault asm entry code does the following

  movq ORIG_RAX(%rsp), %rsi	/* get error code into 2nd argument*/
  movq $-1, ORIG_RAX(%rsp)	/* no syscall to restart */

to set the orig_ax member to -1 just before calling the C-handler.

X86_TRAP_TS, X86_TRAP_NP, X86_TRAP_SS, X86_TRAP_GP, X86_TRAP_AC and
X86_TRAP_CP are all handled in the same way because the IDT event
delivery pushes an error code into their stack frame for them.

The commit d99015b1abbad ("x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of
the macros") introduced the changes to set orig_ax to -1, but I can't
see why. Our tests with FRED seem fine if orig_ax is left unchanged
instead of set to -1. It's probably cleaner and simpler to remove the
second argument from exc_double_fault() while leave orig_ax unchanged
to pass the error code inside the first argument, at least on native
x86_64. That would be a separate, pre-FRED, patch.

For now just add a double fault entry stub for FRED, which simply
calls the existing exc_double_fault().
