Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:42:45 -0700 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> To: x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@...il.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, Stas Sergeev <stsp@...t.ru>, Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH urgent 1/2] selftests/x86: Add a fork() to entry_from_vm86 to catch fork bugs Mere possession of vm86 state is strange. Make sure that nothing gets corrupted if we fork after calling vm86().
