From: Andrew Cooper Subject: x86/pv: Avoid double exception injection There is at least one path (SYSENTER with NT set, Xen converts to #GP) which ends up injecting the #GP fault twice, first in compat_sysenter(), and then a second time in compat_test_all_events(), due to the stale TBF_EXCEPTION left in TRAPBOUNCE_flags. The guest kernel sees the second fault first, which is a kernel level #GP pointing at the head of the #GP handler, and is therefore a userspace trigger-able DoS. This particular bug has bitten us several times before, so rearrange {compat_,}create_bounce_frame() to clobber TRAPBOUNCE on success, rather than leaving this task to one area of code which isn't used uniformly. Other scenarios which might result in a double injection (e.g. two calls directly to compat_create_bounce_frame) will now crash the guest, which is far more obvious than letting the kernel run with corrupt state.
