[PATCH 5.4 15/66] x86/xen/32: Simplify ring check in xen_iret_crit_fixup()

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

 



From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>

commit 922eea2ce5c799228d9ff1be9890e6873ce8fff6 upstream.

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.
