Commit 7457c0da024b ("x86/alternatives: Add int3_emulate_call()
selftest") is used to ensure there is a gap setup in int3 exception stack
which could be used for inserting call return address.
This gap is missed in XEN PV int3 exception entry path, then below panic
triggered:

For 64bit PV guests, Xen's ABI enters the kernel with using SYSRET, with
%rcx/%r11 on the stack. To convert back to "normal" looking exceptions,
the xen thunks do 'xen_*: pop %rcx; pop %r11; jmp *'.
E.g. Extracting 'xen_pv_trap xenint3' we have:
xen_xenint3:
pop %rcx;
pop %r11;
jmp xenint3
As xenint3 and int3 entry code are same except xenint3 doesn't generate
a gap, we can fix it by using int3 and drop useless xenint3.

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.
