+Xen: Fix stack corruption in xen_failsafe_callback for 32bit PVOPS guests.
+
+This fixes CVE-2013-0190 / XSA-40
+
+There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed
+iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the
+iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing.
+
+In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like:
+
+ popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor
+ jz 5f
+ addl $16,%esp
+ jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault
+5: addl $16,%esp
+ # Hypervisor said segment selector fault
+
+Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which
+appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and
+converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected.
+
+In the PVOPS case, the code looks like:
+
+ popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor
+ lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path
+ CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16
+ jz 5f
+ addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again
+ jmp iret_exc
+
+It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this
+behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing
+the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race
+condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to
+userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a
+failsafe_callback into the kernel.
+
+This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support
+in commit 5ead97c84 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.
