Commit
37fe6a42b3 ("x86: Check stack overflow in detail")
added a broad check for the full exception stack area, i.e. it considers
the full exception stack area as valid.
That's wrong in two aspects:
1) It does not check the individual areas one by one
2) #DF, NMI and #MCE are not enabling interrupts which means that a
regular device interrupt cannot happen in their context. In fact if a
device interrupt hits one of those IST stacks that's a bug because some
code path enabled interrupts while handling the exception.
Limit the check to the #DB stack and consider all other IST stacks as
'overflow' or invalid.

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.
