Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry: Fix _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY check in prepare_exit_to_usermode
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:25:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f801104d24ee7a6bb1446408d9950777aa63277.1436995419.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALCETrXizJLmwpAa0z1K+Hie=vD_PTcssxpSwNO5XqLq=2_U7Q@mail.gmail.com>

Linus noticed that the early return check was missing
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY.  If the only work flag was
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers.  Fix it.
(This is the only missing bit.)

This fixes double faults on a KVM host.  It's the same issue as last
time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger.  Apparently no
one uses -next as a KVM host.

(I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up so
 badly if we miss a user return notifier.  My best guess is that KVM
 lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes
 it up in a user return notifier.  If we actually end up in user mode
 with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly.)

Fixes: c5c46f59e4e7 ("x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C")
