Just wondering, does the following commit fix it:
5b781c7e317f x86/tls: Forcibly set the accessed bit in TLS segments
?
Also attached below.
Thanks,
Ingo
=================> From 5b781c7e317fcf9f74475dc82bfce2e359dfca13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2017 22:17:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/tls: Forcibly set the accessed bit in TLS segments
For mysterious historical reasons, struct user_desc doesn't indicate whether segments are accessed. set_thread_area() has always programmed segments as non-accessed, so the first write will set the accessed bit. This will fault if the GDT is read-only.
Fix it by making TLS segments start out accessed.
If this ends up breaking something, we could, in principle, leave TLS segments non-accessed and fix them up when we get the page fault. I'd be surprised, though -- AFAIK all the nasty legacy segmented programs (DOSEMU, Wine, things that run on DOSEMU and Wine, etc.) do their nasty segmented things using the LDT and not the GDT. I assume this is mainly because old OSes (Linux and otherwise) didn't historically provide APIs to do nasty things in the GDT.
