x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit: 5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path") ... the stack frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a "standard" one (i.e. it's not pt_regs). Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need to fix up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET path directly to xen_iret. We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does not need to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32 paravirt op (in the subsequent patch) Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
