The following commit has been merged into the x86/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: 922eea2ce5c799228d9ff1be9890e6873ce8fff6 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/922eea2ce5c799228d9ff1be9890e6873ce8fff6 Author: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 15:32:59 +01:00 Committer: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 21:58:28 +01:00 x86/xen/32: Simplify ring check in xen_iret_crit_fixup() This can be had with two instead of six insns, by just checking the high CS.RPL bit. Also adjust the comment - there would be no #GP in the mentioned cases, as there's no segment limit violation or alike. Instead there'd be #PF, but that one reports the target EIP of said branch, not the address of the branch insn itself.
