[PATCH 1/2] x86/Xen/32: make xen_iret_crit_fixup independent of frame layout

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Mon Nov 11 2019 - 09:32:03 EST


Now that SS:ESP always get saved by SAVE_ALL, this also needs to be
accounted for in xen_iret_crit_fixup. Otherwise the old_ax value gets
interpreted as EFLAGS, and hence VM86 mode appears to be active all
the time, leading to random "vm86_32: no user_vm86: BAD" log messages
alongside processes randomly crashing.

Since following the previous model (sitting after SAVE_ALL) would
further complicate the code _and_ retain the dependency of
xen_iret_crit_fixup on frame manipulations done by entry_32.S, switch
things around and do the adjustment ahead of SAVE_ALL.

Fixes: 3c88c692c287 ("x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs")
