Commit 3f5159a9221f ("x86/asm/entry/32: Update -ENOSYS handling to match
the 64-bit logic") broke the ENOSYS handling for the 32-bit compat case.
The proper error return value was never loaded into %rax, except if
things just happened to go through the audit paths, which ended up
reloading the return value.

This moves the loading or %rax into the normal system call path, just to
make sure the error case triggers it.  It's kind of sad, since it adds a
useless instruction to reload the register to the fast path, but it's
not like that single load from the stack is going to be noticeable.

<title>x86/entry/64, x86/nmi/64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY NMI testing code</title>

It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code.
Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes
the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs.

With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures
to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics
under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high
frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that
generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs.

I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY
because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry
code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config
options or add this option and then immediately rename it.

Currently, "NMI executing" is one the first time an outermost
NMI hits repeat_nmi and zero thereafter.  Change it to be zero
each time for consistency.

This is intended to help NMI handling fail harder if it's buggy.

<title>x86/nmi/64: Use DF to avoid userspace RSP confusing nested NMI detection</title>

<content type='text'>
We have a tricky bug in the nested NMI code: if we see RSP
pointing to the NMI stack on NMI entry from kernel mode, we
assume that we are executing a nested NMI.

This isn't quite true.  A malicious userspace program can point
RSP at the NMI stack, issue SYSCALL, and arrange for an NMI to
happen while RSP is still pointing at the NMI stack.

Fix it with a sneaky trick.  Set DF in the region of code that
the RSP check is intended to detect.  IRET will clear DF
atomically.

( Note: other than paravirt, there's little need for all this
  complexity. We could check RIP instead of RSP. )

Check the repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi special case first.  The
next patch will rework the RSP check and, as a side effect, the
RSP check will no longer detect repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi, so
we'll need this ordering of the checks.

Note: this is more subtle than it appears.  The check for
repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi jumps straight out of the NMI code
instead of adjusting the "iret" frame to force a repeat.  This
is necessary, because the code between repeat_nmi and
end_repeat_nmi sets "NMI executing" and then writes to the
"iret" frame itself.  If a nested NMI comes in and modifies the
"iret" frame while repeat_nmi is also modifying it, we'll end up
with garbage.  The old code got this right, as does the new
code, but the new code is a bit more explicit.

If we were to move the check right after the "NMI executing"
check, then we'd get it wrong and have random crashes.

( Because the "NMI executing" check would jump to the code that would
  modify the "iret" frame without checking if the interrupted NMI was
  currently modifying it. )

<title>x86/nmi/64: Switch stacks on userspace NMI entry</title>

Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can
rearrange the stack prior to IRET.

The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and
atomic IRET.  Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup
to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from
user mode on the normal kernel stack.

This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C
code is okay with that.

As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an
RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.

Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can
rearrange the stack prior to IRET.

The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and
atomic IRET.  Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup
to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from
user mode on the normal kernel stack.

This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C
code is okay with that.

As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an
RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.

Now that do_nmi saves CR2, we don't need to save it in asm.
