[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86/kexec: Fix crash on transition to a 32bit kernel on AMD hardware
The `ljmp *mem` instruction is (famously?) not binary compatible between Intel
and AMD CPUS. The AMD-compatible version would require .long to be .quad in
the second hunk.
Switch to using lretq, which is compatible between Intel and AMD, as well as
being less logic overall.
Fixes: 5a82d5cf352d ("kexec: extend hypercall with improved load/unload ops")

For 4.16. This is a bugfix for rare (so rare it has probably never been
exercised) but plain-broken usecase.
One argument against taking it says that this has been broken for 8 years
already, so what's a few extra weeks. Another is that this patch is only
compile tested because I don't have a suitable setup to repro, nor the time to
try organising one.
On the other hand, I specifically used the point of binary incompatibility to
persuade Intel to drop Call Gates out of the architecture in the forthcoming
FRED spec.
The lretq pattern used here matches x86_32_switch() in
xen/arch/x86/boot/head.S, and this codepath is executed on every MB2+EFI
xen.gz boot, which from XenServer alone is a very wide set of testing.
