[PATCH 5.4 18/66] x86/cpu_entry_area: Add guard page for entry stack on 32bit

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

 



From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 880a98c339961eaa074393e3a2117cbe9125b8bb upstream.

The entry stack in the cpu entry area is protected against overflow by the
readonly GDT on 64-bit, but on 32-bit the GDT needs to be writeable and
therefore does not trigger a fault on stack overflow.

Add a guard page.
