x86/entry/32: Introduce and use X86_BUG_ESPFIX instead of paravirt_enabled
x86_64 has very clean espfix handling on paravirt: espfix64 is set up in native_iret, so paravirt systems that override iret bypass espfix64 automatically. This is robust and straightforward. x86_32 is messier. espfix is set up before the IRET paravirt patch point, so it can't be directly conditionalized on whether we use native_iret. We also can't easily move it into native_iret without regressing performance due to a bizarre consideration. Specifically, on 64-bit kernels, the logic is: if (regs->ss & 0x4) setup_espfix; On 32-bit kernels, the logic is: if ((regs->ss & 0x4) && (regs->cs & 0x3) == 3 && (regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_VM) == 0) setup_espfix; The performance of setup_espfix itself is essentially irrelevant, but the comparison happens on every IRET so its performance matters. On x86_64, there's no need for any registers except flags to implement the comparison, so we fold the whole thing into native_iret. On x86_32, we don't do that because we need a free register to implement the comparison efficiently. We therefore do espfix setup before restoring registers on x86_32. This patch gets rid of the explicit paravirt_enabled check by introducing X86_BUG_ESPFIX on 32-bit systems and using an ALTERNATIVE to skip espfix on paravirt systems where iret != native_iret. This is also messy, but it's at least in line with other things we do. This improves espfix performance by removing a branch, but no one cares. More importantly, it removes a paravirt_enabled user, which is good because paravirt_enabled is ill-defined and is going away.
