x86/bhi: Avoid warning in #DB handler due to BHI mitigation
[ Upstream commit ac8b270b61d48fcc61f052097777e3b5e11591e0 ]
When BHI mitigation is enabled, if SYSENTER is invoked with the TF flag set
then entry_SYSENTER_compat() uses CLEAR_BRANCH_HISTORY and calls the
clear_bhb_loop() before the TF flag is cleared. This causes the #DB handler
(exc_debug_kernel()) to issue a warning because single-step is used outside the
entry_SYSENTER_compat() function.
To address this issue, entry_SYSENTER_compat() should use CLEAR_BRANCH_HISTORY
after making sure the TF flag is cleared.
The problem can be reproduced with the following sequence:
$ cat sysenter_step.c
int main()
{ asm("pushf; pop %ax; bts $8,%ax; push %ax; popf; sysenter"); }
$ gcc -o sysenter_step sysenter_step.c
$ ./sysenter_step
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The program is expected to crash, and the #DB handler will issue a warning.
