Subject: [PATCH 6/6] x86: Add counter when debug stack is used with interrupts enabled
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@...hat.com>
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out a case that can cause issues with
NMIs running on the debug stack:
int3 -> interrupt -> NMI -> int3
Because the interrupt changes the stack, the NMI will not see that
it preempted the debug stack. Looking deeper at this case,
interrupts only happen when the int3 is from userspace or in
an a location in the exception table (fixup).
userspace -> int3 -> interurpt -> NMI -> int3
All other int3s that happen in the kernel should be processed
without ever enabling interrupts, as the do_trap() call will
panic the kernel if it is called to process any other location
within the kernel.
Adding a counter around the sections that enable interrupts while
using the debug stack allows the NMI to also check that case.
If the NMI sees that it either interrupted a task using the debug
stack or the debug counter is non-zero, then it will have to
change the IDT table to make the int3 not change stacks (which will
corrupt the stack if it does).
