If the only work flag was _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix it. (This is the only missing bit.) This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger. Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host. ( I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly. ) Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: c5c46f59e4e7 ("x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/3f801104d24ee7a6bb1446408d9950777aa63277.1436995419.git.luto@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/entry/common.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/entry/common.c b/arch/x86/entry/common.c index febc530..a3e9c7f 100644 --- a/arch/x86/entry/common.c +++ b/arch/x86/entry/common.c @@ -264,7 +264,8 @@ __visible void prepare_exit_to_usermode(struct pt_regs *regs) READ_ONCE(pt_regs_to_thread_info(regs)->flags); if (!(cached_flags & (_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME | - _TIF_UPROBE | _TIF_NEED_RESCHED))) + _TIF_UPROBE | _TIF_NEED_RESCHED | + _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY))) break; /* We have work to do. */ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
