KVM: VMX: Fix ds/es corruption on i386 with preemption
Commit b2da15ac26a0c ("KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload") broke i386
in the following scenario:
vcpu_load
...
vmx_save_host_state
vmx_vcpu_run
(ds.rpl, es.rpl cleared by hardware)
interrupt
push ds, es # pushes bad ds, es
schedule
vmx_vcpu_put
vmx_load_host_state
reload ds, es (with __USER_DS)
pop ds, es # of other thread's stack
iret
# other thread runs
interrupt
push ds, es
schedule # back in vcpu thread
pop ds, es # now with rpl=0
iret
...
vcpu_put
resume_userspace
iret # clears ds, es due to mismatched rpl
(instead of resume_userspace, we might return with SYSEXIT and then
take an exception; when the exception IRETs we end up with cleared
ds, es)
Fix by avoiding the optimization on i386 and reloading ds, es on the
lightweight exit path.
