i386: fix return to 16-bit stack from NMI handler
Returning to a task with a 16-bit stack requires special care: the iret
instruction does not restore the high word of esp in that case. The
espfix code fixes this, but currently is not invoked on NMIs. This means
that a running task gets the upper word of esp clobbered due intervening
NMIs. To reproduce, compile and run the following program with the nmi
watchdog enabled (nmi_watchdog=2 on the command line). Using gdb you can
see that the high bits of esp contain garbage, while the low bits are
still correct.
This patch puts the espfix code back into the NMI code path.
The patch is slightly complicated due to the irqtrace infrastructure not
being NMI-safe. The NMI return path cannot call TRACE_IRQS_IRET.
Otherwise, the tail of the normal iret-code is correct for the nmi code
path too. To be able to share this code-path, the TRACE_IRQS_IRET was
move up a bit. The espfix code exists after the TRACE_IRQS_IRET, but
this code explicitly disables interrupts. This short interrupts-off
section is now not traced anymore. The return-to-kernel path now always
includes the preliminary test to decide if the espfix code should be
called. This is never the case, but doing it this way keeps the patch as
simple as possible and the few extra instructions should not affect
timing in any significant way.
