[PATCH 5.4 13/66] x86/stackframe/32: Repair 32-bit Xen PV

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

 



From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>

commit 81ff2c37f9e5d77593928df0536d86443195fd64 upstream.

Once again RPL checks have been introduced which don't account for a 32-bit
kernel living in ring 1 when running in a PV Xen domain. The case in
FIXUP_FRAME has been preventing boot.

Adjust BUG_IF_WRONG_CR3 as well to guard against future uses of the macro
on a code path reachable when running in PV mode under Xen; I have to admit
that I stopped at a certain point trying to figure out whether there are
present ones.

Fixes: 3c88c692c287 ("x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs")
