x86_64 has very clean espfix handling on paravirt: espfix64 is set
up in native_iret, so paravirt systems that override iret bypass
espfix64 automatically. This is robust and straightforward.
x86_32 is messier. espfix is set up before the IRET paravirt patch
point, so it can't be directly conditionalized on whether we use
native_iret. We also can't easily move it into native_iret without
regressing performance due to a bizarre consideration. Specifically,
on 64-bit kernels, the logic is:
if (regs->ss & 0x4)
setup_espfix;
On 32-bit kernels, the logic is:
if ((regs->ss & 0x4) && (regs->cs & 0x3) == 3 &&
(regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_VM) == 0)
setup_espfix;
The performance of setup_espfix itself is essentially irrelevant, but
the comparison happens on every IRET so its performance matters. On
x86_64, there's no need for any registers except flags to implement
the comparison, so we fold the whole thing into native_iret. On
x86_32, we don't do that because we need a free register to
implement the comparison efficiently. We therefore do espfix setup
before restoring registers on x86_32.
This patch gets rid of the explicit paravirt_enabled check by
introducing X86_BUG_ESPFIX on 32-bit systems and using an ALTERNATIVE
to skip espfix on paravirt systems where iret != native_iret. This is
also messy, but it's at least in line with other things we do.
This improves espfix performance by removing a branch, but no one
cares. More importantly, it removes a paravirt_enabled user, which is
good because paravirt_enabled is ill-defined and is going away.
