[PATCH 4.9 068/128] x86/irq/64: Limit IST stack overflow check to #DB stack

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 23:48:12 EST


[ Upstream commit 7dbcf2b0b770eeb803a416ee8dcbef78e6389d40 ]

Commit

37fe6a42b343 ("x86: Check stack overflow in detail")

added a broad check for the full exception stack area, i.e. it considers
the full exception stack area as valid.

That's wrong in two aspects:

1) It does not check the individual areas one by one

2) #DF, NMI and #MCE are not enabling interrupts which means that a
regular device interrupt cannot happen in their context. In fact if a
device interrupt hits one of those IST stacks that's a bug because some
code path enabled interrupts while handling the exception.

Limit the check to the #DB stack and consider all other IST stacks as
'overflow' or invalid.
