x86/entry: Fix _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY check in prepare_exit_to_usermode Linus noticed that the early return check was missing _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY. If the only work flag was _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix it. (This is the only missing bit.) This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger. Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host. ( I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly. ) Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Fixes: c5c46f59e4e7 ("x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/3f801104d24ee7a6bb1446408d9950777aa63277.1436995419.git.luto@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
