From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Rick Edgecombe Subject: [PATCH v3 03/20] x86/mm: Save DRs when loading a temporary mm Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 15:44:34 -0800 Message-Id: <20190221234451.17632-4-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> In-Reply-To: <20190221234451.17632-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> References: <20190221234451.17632-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> To: Andy Lutomirski , Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, x86@kernel.org, hpa@zytor.com, Thomas Gleixner , Borislav Petkov , Nadav Amit , Dave Hansen , Peter Zijlstra , linux_dti@icloud.com, linux-integrity@vger.kernel.org, linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org, akpm@linux-foundation.org, kernel-hardening@lists.openwall.com, linux-mm@kvack.org, will.deacon@arm.com, ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org, kristen@linux.intel.com, deneen.t.dock@intel.com, Nadav Amit List-ID: From: Nadav Amit Prevent user watchpoints from mistakenly firing while the temporary mm is being used. As the addresses that of the temporary mm might overlap those of the user-process, this is necessary to prevent wrong signals or worse things from happening.
