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: commit3ac6d8c787
("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. ] Reported-and-tested-by: M.
