[PATCH v2] x86/debug: Fix stack recursion caused by DR7 accesses

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

 



From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

In kernels compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n the compiler re-orders the
DR7 read in exc_nmi() to happen before the call to sev_es_ist_enter().

This is problematic when running as an SEV-ES guest because in this
environment the DR7 read might cause a #VC exception, and taking #VC
exceptions is not safe in exc_nmi() before sev_es_ist_enter() has run.

The result is stack recursion if the NMI was caused on the #VC IST
stack, because a subsequent #VC exception in the NMI handler will
overwrite the stack frame of the interrupted #VC handler.

As there are no compiler barriers affecting the ordering of DR7
reads/writes, make the accesses to this register volatile, forbidding
the compiler to re-order them.
