Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Josh Poimboeuf <> | Subject | [PATCH v3] x86/bugs: Only harden syscalls when needed | Date | Tue, 16 Apr 2024 16:02:21 -0700 |
| |
Syscall hardening (i.e., converting the syscall indirect branch to a series of direct branches) may cause performance regressions in certain scenarios. Only use the syscall hardening when indirect branches are considered unsafe.
Fixes: 1e3ad78334a6 ("x86/syscall: Don't force use of indirect calls for system calls") Reviewed-by: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> --- v3: - fix X86_FEATURE_INDIRECT_SAFE value
