Subject: [PATCH v2] x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue
AMD CPUs don't reinitialize the SS descriptor on SYSRET, so SYSRET
with SS == 0 results in an invalid usermode state in which SS is
apparently equal to __USER_DS but causes #SS if used.
Work around the issue by setting SS to __KERNEL_DS __switch_to, thus
ensuring that SYSRET never happens with SS set to NULL.
This was exposed by a recent vDSO cleanup.
Fixes: e7d6eefaaa44 x86/vdso32/syscall.S: Do not load __USER32_DS to %ss
Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>
---
Changes since v1:
- Improve comments per Denys' advice
- Force SS to __KERNEL_DS -- don't just check for NULL.
Please apply my test case patch, too.
