There are three problems with the current layout of the doublefault
stack and TSS. First, the TSS is only cacheline-aligned, which is
not enough -- if the hardware portion of the TSS (struct x86_hw_tss)
crosses a page boundary, horrible things happen [0]. Second, the
stack and TSS are global, so simultaneous double faults on different
CPUs will cause massive corruption. Third, the whole mechanism
won't work if user CR3 is loaded, resulting in a triple fault [1].
Let the doublefault stack and TSS share a page (which prevents the
TSS from spanning a page boundary), make it percpu, and move it into
cpu_entry_area. Teach the stack dump code about the doublefault
stack.
[0] Real hardware will read past the end of the page onto the next
*physical* page if a task switch happens. Virtual machines may
have any number of bugs, and I would consider it reasonable for
a VM to summarily kill the guest if it tries to task-switch to
a page-spanning TSS.
[1] Real hardware triple faults. At least some VMs seem to hang.
I'm not sure what's going on.
