From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> Hi, here is my current WIP code to enable PTI on x86-32. It is still in a pretty early state, but it successfully boots my KVM guest with PAE and with legacy paging. The existing PTI code for x86-64 already prepares a lot of the stuff needed for 32 bit too, thanks for that to all the people involved in its development :) The patches are split as follows: - 1-3 contain the entry-code changes to enter and exit the kernel via the sysenter trampoline stack. - 4-7 are fixes to get the code compile on 32 bit with CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. - 8-14 adapt the existing PTI code to work properly on 32 bit and add the needed parts to 32 bit page-table code. - 15 switches PTI on by adding the CR3 switches to kernel entry/exit. - 16 enables the Kconfig for all of X86 The code has not run on bare-metal yet, I'll test that in the next days once I setup a 32 bit box again. I also havn't tested Wine and DosEMU yet, so this might also be broken. With that post I'd like to ask for all kinds of constructive feedback on the approaches I have taken and of course the many things I broke with it :) One of the things that are surely broken is XEN_PV support. I'd appreciate any help with testing and bugfixing on that front. So please review and let me know your thoughts.
