Subject: [PATCH 113/242] selftests/x86/ldt_gdt: Robustify against
set_thread_area() and LAR oddities
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
CVE-2017-5754
Bits 19:16 of LAR's result are undefined, and some upcoming
improvements to the test case seem to trigger this. Mask off those
bits to avoid spurious failures.
commit 5b781c7e317f ("x86/tls: Forcibly set the accessed bit in TLS
segments") adds a valid case in which LAR's output doesn't quite
agree with set_thread_area()'s input. This isn't triggered in the
test as is, but it will be if we start calling set_thread_area()
with the accessed bit clear. Work around this discrepency.
I've added a Fixes tag so that -stable can pick this up if neccesary.
