x86/entry: Vastly simplify SYSENTER TF (single-step) handling
Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step).
As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step
through the kernel until something clears TF. There is absolutely
nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1].
Simplify the handling considerably with two changes:
1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC. We can
add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever.
2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue.
That's all we need to do.
Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit
kernels. There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but
the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first
instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite
correctly. The next two patches will fix that.
[1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and
making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER
code. Needless to say, this is a bad idea.
