Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/Xen/32: simplify xen_iret_crit_fixup's ring check
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 15:32:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a5986837-01eb-7bf8-bf42-4d3084d6a1f5@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d66b1da4-8096-9b77-1ca6-d6b9954b113c@suse.com>

This can be had with two instead of six insns, by just checking the high
CS.RPL bit.

Also adjust the comment - there would be no #GP in the mentioned cases,
as there's no segment limit violation or alike. Instead there'd be #PF,
but that one reports the target EIP of said branch, not the address of
the branch insn itself.

An alternative would be to keep using SEGMENT_RPL_MASK, but follow it
with "jpe".
