Setting the bit and clearing it a little bit -later leaves a critical window where things can go wrong. This time -window has enlarged a little bit by using setup_clear_cpu_cap() instead -of the hypervisor's set_cpu_features callback. It seems this larger -window now makes it rather easy to hit the problem. - -The proper solution is to never set the bit in case of Xen. - -Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> -Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> -Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> -Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> -Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> -Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> ---- - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c | 5 +++-- - arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c | 4 +--- - 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) - -diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c -index c375bc6..747f8a2 100644 ---- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c -+++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c -@@ -824,8 +824,9 @@ static void init_amd(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) - if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_3DNOW) || cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_LM)) - set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_3DNOWPREFETCH); - -- /* AMD CPUs don't reset SS attributes on SYSRET */ -- set_cpu_bug(c, X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS); -+ /* AMD CPUs don't reset SS attributes on SYSRET, Xen does. */ -+ if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_XENPV)) -+ set_cpu_bug(c, X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS); - } - - #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 -diff --git a/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c b/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c -index 5226379..8b97c87 100644 ---- a/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c -+++ b/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c -@@ -1968,10 +1968,8 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(xen_hvm_need_lapic); - - static void xen_set_cpu_features(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) - { -- if (xen_pv_domain()) { -- clear_cpu_bug(c, X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS); -+ if (xen_pv_domain()) - set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_XENPV); -- } - } - - static void xen_pin_vcpu(int cpu) --- -2.7.4 - |
