[PATCH v24 1/9] x86/cet/ibt: Add Kconfig option for Indirect Branch Tracking

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

 



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.
