Subject: x86/entry: Track the IST-ness of an entry for the exit paths
From: Andrew Cooper andrew.cooper3@citrix.com Wed Sep 13 12:20:12 2023 +0100

Use %r12 to hold an ist_exit boolean.  This register is zero elsewhere in the
entry/exit asm, so it only needs setting in the IST path.

As this is subtle and fragile, add check_ist_exit() to be used in debugging
builds to cross-check that the ist_exit boolean matches the entry vector.

Write check_ist_exit() it in C, because it's debug only and the logic more
complicated than I care to maintain in asm.

For now, we only need to use this signal in the exit-to-Xen path, but some
exit-to-guest paths happen in IST context too.  Check the correctness in all
exit paths to avoid the logic bit-rotting.
