Subject: [PATCH 3.19 v4 0/2] x86, mpx: Instruction decoder fixes and hardening
Hi all-
Ingo and Thomas, I think this is in decent shape for x86/urgent now
if you think it's appropriate to apply at this point in the cycle.
Changes from v3:
- Replaced MAX_INSN_SIZE with 15 in the decoder change. (Masami)
I'll send the patch for 3.20 to fix MAX_INSN_SIZE separately.
Changes from v2:
- Dropped patch 1 (fixed in tip separately)
- Fixed comment typoes in patch 2 (noticed by Dave)
Changes from v1:
- Dropped the TIF_IA32 change -- let's defer that until at least 3.20.
- Fixed the MPX decode short-circuit. v1 was buggy.
- Patch 3 is new. It fixes a minor regression from the MPX work.
Andy Lutomirski (2):
x86, mpx: Short-circuit the instruction decoder for unexpected opcodes
x86: Enforce maximum instruction size in the instruction decoder
