From 37868fe113ff2ba814b3b4eb12df214df555f8dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 14:31:32 -0700 Subject: x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications. This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place. This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.
