Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry/64: Remove %ebx handling from error_entry/exit
error_entry and error_exit communicate the user vs kernel status of
the frame using %ebx. This is unnecessary -- the information is in
regs->cs. Just use regs->cs.
This makes error_entry simpler and makes error_exit more robust.
It also fixes a nasty bug. Before all the Spectre nonsense, The
xen_failsafe_callback entry point returned like this:
ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK
SAVE_C_REGS
SAVE_EXTRA_REGS
ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER
jmp error_exit
And it did not go through error_entry. This was bogus: RBX
contained garbage, and error_exit expected a flag in RBX.
Fortunately, it generally contained *nonzero* garbage, so the
correct code path was used. As part of the Spectre fixes, code was
added to clear RBX to mitigate certain speculation attacks. Now,
depending on kernel configuration, RBX got zeroed and, when running
some Wine workloads, the kernel crashes. This was introduced by:
commit 3ac6d8c787b8 ("x86/entry/64: Clear registers for
exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface")
With this patch applied, RBX is no longer needed as a flag, and the
problem goes away.
I suspect that malicious userspace could use this bug to crash the
kernel even without the offending patch applied, though.
[Historical note: I wrote this patch as a cleanup before I was aware
of the bug it fixed.]
[Note to stable maintainers: this should probably get applied to all
kernels. If you're nervous about that, a more conservative fix to
add xorl %ebx,%ebx; incl %ebx before the jump to error_exit should
also fix the problem.]
