Subject: [PATCH PTI] Fixup "x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries"
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 22:00:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5f8c2b0655ce0575c1e5820d9620e645ccc0ea4c.1512539981.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
Add to commit message:
Using a trampoline stack would obnoxious for Xen PV because Xen PV
enters entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe on the stack indicated by sp0.
This could be fixed, but I think it's nice to ensure the entry code
can still work without a trampoline stack. So this patch doesn't
use the entry trampoline stack on Xen.
The regs != eregs check in sync_regs is optional, but I think it's
better than copying the whole set of regs over itself.

Boris, this is lightly tested and should fix the problem you're seeing.
