- - Double fault (#DF):

- A double fault is usually fatal, but the ESPFIX workaround, which can
- be triggered from user space through modify_ldt(2) is a recoverable
- double fault. #DF uses the paranoid exit path, so explicit mitigation
- in the double fault handler is required.

- Machine Check Exception (#MC):
Another corner case is a #MC which hits between the CPU buffer clear
