From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 20:13:48 +0000 (-0400) Subject: x86/cpu: Add 'unsafe_fsgsbase' to enable CR4.FSGSBASE X-Git-Tag: v5.9-rc1~153^2~19 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dd649bd0b3aa012740059b1ba31ecad28a408f7f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git x86/cpu: Add 'unsafe_fsgsbase' to enable CR4.FSGSBASE This is temporary. It will allow the next few patches to be tested incrementally. Setting unsafe_fsgsbase is a root hole. Don't do it. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Chang S.
