Subject: [PATCH REPOST] Run IST traps from user mode preemptive on process stack
Run IST traps from user mode preemptive on process stack
[Repost. Please ack or nack. -Andi]
x86-64 has a few exceptions which run on special architecture
supported IST exception stacks: these are nmi, double fault, stack fault,
int 3, debug.
Previously they would check for a scheduling event on returning
if the original CPU state was user mode and then switch to a
process stack to schedule.
But the actual trap handler would still run on the IST stack
with preemption disabled.
This patch changes these traps instead to always switch
to the process stack when the trap originated from user mode.
For kernel traps it keeps running non preemptive on the IST stack
because that is much safer (e.g. to still get nmi watchdog events
out even when the process stack is corrupted)
Then the actual trap handlers can run with preemption enabled
or schedule as needed (e.g. to take locks)
This fixes a regression I added earlier with print_vma_addr()
executing down() in these trap handlers from user space.
Strictly the change would have been only needed for debug
and int3, but since they share this code as macros it was
cleanest to just change all.
