CVS commit: src/sys/arch



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   maxv
Date:           Sat Mar 18 13:39:23 UTC 2017

        src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64: trap.c
        src/sys/arch/i386/i386: trap.c

Log Message:
Mmh, allow iret to be handled when an #SS fault (T_STKFLT) happens. Even
if the sdm is far from being clear, it appears that iret can trigger an #SS
fault if %ss points to a writable but non-present segment; in which case
the kernel would panic, thinking the fault was internal to it.

In particular, userland can create a broken segment in the ldt with
USER_LDT, update its %ss with setcontext and trigger the panic. I don't
think amd64 is affected since USER_LDT does not exist there, and the
changes on tf_ss seem correct - but I'm still adding T_STKFLT for safety.
