If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6f442be2fb22be02cafa606f1769fa1e6f894441 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2014 18:00:32 -0800 Subject: x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6f442be2fb22be02cafa606f1769fa1e6f894441 upstream. On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks. On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs, and promoting them to double faults would be fine. This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment violation. This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.
