Emulation of the legacy vsyscall page is required by some programs built before 2013. Newer programs after 2013 don't use it. Disable vsyscall emulation when Control-flow Enforcement (CET) is enabled to enhance security. Signed-off-by: Yu-cheng Yu <redacted> --- v12: - Disable vsyscall emulation only when it is attempted (vs. at compile time). arch/x86/entry/vsyscall/vsyscall_64.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+)
