+Subject: x86/tls: Disallow unusual TLS segments
+
+From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>
+
+commit 0e58af4e1d2166e9e33375a0f121e4867010d4f8 upstream.
+
+Users have no business installing custom code segments into the
+GDT, and segments that are not present but are otherwise valid
+are a historical source of interesting attacks.
+
+For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit. (Prior to
+this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.)
+
+This is an ABI break. I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and
+none of them look like they'll have any trouble.
+
+Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes
+no known bugs. Given the possibility of ABI issues, this
+probably shouldn't be backported quickly.

+Subject: x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix
+
+From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>
+
+commit 41bdc78544b8a93a9c6814b8bbbfef966272abbe upstream.
+
+Installing a 16-bit RW data segment into the GDT defeats espfix.
+AFAICT this will not affect glibc, Wine, or dosemu at all.

+Subject: x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES
+
+From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>
+
+commit f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e upstream.
+
+Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
+array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.
+
+This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
+gotchas in the code.
+
+Before this patch, the both tests below failed. With this
+patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.
