    x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS · e4059827
    Andy Lutomirski authored Nov 22, 2014
    commit 6f442be2
    
     upstream.
    
    On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks.
    
    On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret
    to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a
    genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code.  The first two
    cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs,
    and promoting them to double faults would be fine.
    
    This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment
    violation.
    
    This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.
