[PATCH v2 10/12] x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Mar 09 2016 - 22:02:33 EST


The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny
stack. That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before
the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack.

We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack.
For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in
do_debug -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic,
we'll eventually notice.
