Subject: [PATCH 3.14 27/77] x86, tls, ldt: Stop checking lm in LDT_empty
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>
commit e30ab185c490e9a9381385529e0fd32f0a399495 upstream.
32-bit programs don't have an lm bit in their ABI, so they can't
reliably cause LDT_empty to return true without resorting to memset.
They shouldn't need to do this.
This should fix a longstanding, if minor, issue in all 64-bit kernels
as well as a potential regression in the TLS hardening code.
Fixes: 41bdc78544b8 x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix
