[PATCH 1/7] x86/cet: Add Kconfig option for user-mode Indirect Branch Tracking

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

 



The user-mode indirect branch tracking support is done mostly by
GCC to insert ENDBR64/ENDBR32 instructions at branch targets.
The kernel provides CPUID enumeration, feature MSR setup and
the allocation of legacy bitmap.
