From: Nadav Amit Subject: [PATCH v5 04/23] x86/mm: Save debug registers when loading a temporary mm Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2019 17:11:24 -0700 Message-ID: <20190426001143.4983-5-namit@vmware.com> In-Reply-To: <20190426001143.4983-1-namit@vmware.com> References: <20190426001143.4983-1-namit@vmware.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: Peter Zijlstra , Borislav Petkov , Andy Lutomirski , Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, x86@kernel.org, hpa@zytor.com, Thomas Gleixner , Nadav Amit , Dave Hansen , linux_dti@icloud.com, linux-integrity@vger.kernel.org, linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org, akpm@linux-foundation.org, kernel-hardening@lists.openwall.com, linux-mm@kvack.org, will.deacon@arm.com, ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org, kristen@linux.intel.com, deneen.t.dock@intel.com, Rick Edgecombe , Nadav Amit List-ID: Prevent user watchpoints from mistakenly firing while the temporary mm is being used. As the addresses of the temporary mm might overlap those of the user-process, this is necessary to prevent wrong signals or worse things from happening.
