Subject: [PATCH v14 1/7] x86/cet/ibt: Add Kconfig option for user-mode Indirect Branch Tracking
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2020 08:45:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201012154530.28382-2-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201012154530.28382-1-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

Introduce Kconfig option X86_BRANCH_TRACKING_USER.

Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) provides protection against CALL-/JMP-
oriented programming attacks.  It is active when the kernel has this
feature enabled, and the processor and the application support it.
When this feature is enabled, legacy non-IBT applications continue to
work, but without IBT protection.
