Message-Id: <5bcff14f574b1a9852d1334a9fa8886c70c928c4.1464129798.git.luto@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 24 May 2016 15:48:42 -0700 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>, Brian Gerst <brgerst@...il.com>, Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86/uaccess: Warn on uaccess faults other than #PF If a uaccess instruction fails due to an8 error other than #PF, warn. If the fault is #GP, it most likely indicates access to a non-canonical address, which means that an access_ok check is missing, and that's bad. If the fault is something else (#UD?), then something is very wrong and we should diagnose it rather than ignoring it.
