From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Chen Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2017 13:52:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Only set IBPB when the new thread cannot ptrace current thread MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CVE-2017-5753 CVE-2017-5715 To reduce overhead of setting IBPB, we only do that when the new thread cannot ptrace the current one. If the new thread has ptrace capability on current thread, it is safe.
