Subject: [PATCH] x86: refine guest_mode()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 10:03:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7b62d06c-1369-2857-81c0-45e2434357f4@suse.com> (raw)

The 2nd of the assertions as well as the macro's return value have been
assuming we're on the primary stack. While for most IST exceptions we
eventually switch back to the main one, for #DF we intentionally never
do, and hence a #DF actually triggering on a user mode insn (which then
is still a Xen bug) would in turn trigger this assertion, rather than
cleanly logging state.

Reported-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

While we could go further and also assert we're on the correct IST
stack in an "else" ti the "if()" added, I'm not fully convinced this
would be generally helpful. I'll be happy to adjust accordingly if
others think differently; at such a point though I think this should
then no longer be a macro.
