Subject: [PATCH 1/6] xen/x86/pvh: Save %rbx in xen_pvh_early_cpu_init()
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2015 23:34:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436240065-10813-2-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1436240065-10813-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>

x86-64 ABI requires that functions preserve %rbx. When
xen_pvh_early_cpu_init() is executed on boot cpu it is invoked as a
function and 'cpuid' instruction will clobber %rbx. (This is not a
concern on secondary processors since there xen_pvh_early_cpu_init() is
the entry point and thus does not need to preserve registers.)

Since we cannot access stack on secondary processors (PTE's NX bit will
cause #GP on AMD --- see commit a2ef5dc2c7cb ("x86/xen: Set EFER.NX and
EFER.SCE in PVH guests")) we can't always save %rbx on the stack. We
work around this by creating a new entry point for those processors ---
xen_pvh_early_cpu_init_secondary(). Note that on secondary CPUs we will
load %rbx with garbage, which is OK.

As a side effect of these changes we don't need to save %rsi anymore,
since we can use %rbx instead of %rsi as a temporary register.

(We could store %rbx into another scratch register such as %r8 but since
we will need new entry point for 32-bit PVH anyway we go with this
approach for symmetry)
