[PATCH v3] x86-64/Xen: fix stack switching

2019-01-15 Thread Jan Beulich
While in the native case entry into the kernel happens on the trampoline
stack, PV Xen kernels get entered with the current thread stack right
away. Hence source and destination stacks are identical in that case,
and special care is needed.

Other than in sync_regs() the copying done on the INT80 path isn't
NMI / #MC safe, as either of these events occurring in the middle of the
stack copying would clobber data on the (source) stack.

I'm not altering the similar code in interrupt_entry() and nmi(), as
those code paths are unreachable afaict when running PV Xen guests.

v3: Drop NMI path change. Use ALTERNATIVE.
v2: Correct placement of .Lint80_keep_stack label.
