From: Joerg Roedel jroedel@suse.de
In kernels compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n the compiler re-orders the DR7 read in exc_nmi() to happen before the call to sev_es_ist_enter().
This is problematic when running as an SEV-ES guest because in this environment the DR7 read might cause a #VC exception, and taking #VC exceptions is not safe in exc_nmi() before sev_es_ist_enter() has run.
The result is stack recursion if the NMI was caused on the #VC IST stack, because a subsequent #VC exception in the NMI handler will overwrite the stack frame of the interrupted #VC handler.
As there are no compiler barriers affecting the ordering of DR7 reads/writes, make the accesses to this register volatile, forbidding the compiler to re-order them.
