Subject: [PATCH] x86, 64-bit: Move K8 B step iret fixup to fault entry asm (v2)

Move the handling of truncated %rip from an iret fault to the fault
entry path.

This allows x86-64 to use the standard search_extable() function.

v2: Fixed jump to error_swapgs to be unconditional.

v1 is already in the tip:x86/asm topic tree. Mind sending a delta fix
against:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

?

Also, i'm having second thoughts about the change:

is this the only way how we can end up having a truncated 64-bit RIP
passed in to search_exception_tables()/search_extable()? Before your
commit we basically had a last-ditch safety net in 64-bit kernels that
zero-extended truncated RIPs - no matter how they got there (via known
or unknown erratums).

Thanks,

Ingo

That kind of erratum would logically only happen on a transition to
32-bit mode (or even 16-bit mode?), and the only other place this
could happen is the sysret or sysexit paths, neither of which have
exception handlers. If it were happening in those places, you would
see the truncated RIP in oops reports, since the original (truncated)
RIP in pt_regs doesn't get changed by the current code.
