From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx> commit a2796dff62d6c6bfc5fbebdf2bee0d5ac0438906 upstream. Instead of jumping to the Xen hypercall page for doing the iret hypercall, directly code the required sequence in xen-asm.S. This is done in preparation of no longer using hypercall page at all, as it has shown to cause problems with speculation mitigations. This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.
