On Xen PV, #DB doesn't use IST. It still needs to be correctly routed
depending on whether it came from user or kernel mode.
Get rid of DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY_XEN -- it was too hard to follow the
logic. Instead, route #DB and NMI through DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW on
Xen, and do the right thing for #DB. Also add more warnings to the
exc_debug* handlers to make this type of failure more obvious.
This fixes various forms of corruption that happen when usermode
triggers #DB on Xen PV.
Fixes: 4c0dcd8350 ("x86/entry: Implement user mode C entry points for #DB and #MCE")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
