x86/stackframe/32: Repair 32-bit Xen PV
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Once again RPL checks have been introduced which don't account for a 32-bit
kernel living in ring 1 when running in a PV Xen domain. The case in
FIXUP_FRAME has been preventing boot.

Adjust BUG_IF_WRONG_CR3 as well to guard against future uses of the macro
on a code path reachable when running in PV mode under Xen; I have to admit
that I stopped at a certain point trying to figure out whether there are
present ones.

Fixes: 3c88c69 ("x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs")

/*
* When running on Xen PV, the actual privilege level of the kernel is 1,
* not 0. Testing the Requested Privilege Level in a segment selector to
* determine whether the context is user mode or kernel mode with
* SEGMENT_RPL_MASK is wrong because the PV kernel's privilege level
* matches the 0x3 mask.
*
* Testing with USER_SEGMENT_RPL_MASK is valid for both native and Xen PV
* kernels because privilege level 2 is never used.
