[PATCH 23/26] mm: asi: Stabilize CR3 in switch_mm_irqs_off()

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

 



An ASI-restricted CR3 is unstable as interrupts can cause ASI-exits.
Although we already unconditionally ASI-exit during context-switch, and
before returning from the VM-run path, it's still possible to reach
switch_mm_irqs_off() in a restricted context, because KVM code updates
static keys, which requires using a temporary mm.
