Subject: x86/ldt: Prevent LDT inheritance on exec
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a4828f81037f491b2cc986595e3a969a6eeb2fb5 upstream.
The LDT is inherited across fork() or exec(), but that makes no sense
at all because exec() is supposed to start the process clean.
The reason why this happens is that init_new_context_ldt() is called from
init_new_context() which obviously needs to be called for both fork() and
exec().
It would be surprising if anything relies on that behaviour, so it seems to
be safe to remove that misfeature.
Split the context initialization into two parts. Clear the LDT pointer and
initialize the mutex from the general context init and move the LDT
duplication to arch_dup_mmap() which is only called on fork().
