[RFC PATCH v9 18/27] x86/cet/shstk: Introduce WRUSS instruction

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

 



WRUSS is a new kernel-mode instruction but writes directly to user Shadow
Stack (SHSTK) memory.  This is used to construct a return address on SHSTK
for the signal handler.

This instruction can fault if the user SHSTK is not valid SHSTK memory.
In that case, the kernel does a fixup.

v4:
- Change to asm goto.
