[PATCH 13/31] x86/entry/32: Handle Entry from Kernel-Mode on Entry-Stack

[Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org>]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

It can happen that we enter the kernel from kernel-mode and
on the entry-stack. The most common way this happens is when
we get an exception while loading the user-space segment
registers on the kernel-to-userspace exit path.

The segment loading needs to be done after the entry-stack
switch, because the stack-switch needs kernel %fs for
per_cpu access.

When this happens, we need to make sure that we leave the
kernel with the entry-stack again, so that the interrupted
code-path runs on the right stack when switching to the
user-cr3.

We do this by detecting this condition on kernel-entry by
checking CS.RPL and %esp, and if it happens, we copy over
the complete content of the entry stack to the task-stack.
This needs to be done because once we enter the exception
handlers we might be scheduled out or even migrated to a
different CPU, so that we can't rely on the entry-stack
contents. We also leave a marker in the stack-frame to
detect this condition on the exit path.

On the exit path the copy is reversed, we copy all of the
remaining task-stack back to the entry-stack and switch
to it.
