[PATCH v4 25/34] x86/fred: disallow the swapgs instruction when FRED is enabled

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

The FRED architecture establishes the full supervisor/user through:
1) FRED event delivery swaps the value of the GS base address and
   that of the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
2) ERETU swaps the value of the GS base address and that of the
   IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
Thus, the swapgs instruction is disallowed when FRED is enabled,
otherwise it cauess #UD.
