Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 11:42:13 -0700 From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...hat.com>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, x86@...nel.org, Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>, Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@....com>, Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>, PaX Team <pageexec@...email.hu> Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: make sure IDT is page aligned Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned. (32-bit already was, this is only needed on 64-bit.) This avoids the risk of it ever being moved in the bss and having the mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers.
