Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).
This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
Fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
cpus.
For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64 bit.
Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.
On 32 bit, the maximum number of processors is now 256. The Fixmap
section cannot handle the original 512. Additional asserts ensure that
the Fixmap section cannot grow beyond the space available.
This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.
