[PATCH v8 20/27] x86/cet/shstk: Introduce WRUSS instruction

From: Yu-cheng Yu <hidden>
Date: 2019-08-13 21:03:07
Also in: linux-api, linux-doc, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

WRUSS is a new kernel-mode instruction but writes directly to user
shadow stack memory.  This is used to construct a return address on
the shadow stack for the signal handler.

This instruction can fault if the user shadow stack is invalid shadow
stack memory.  In that case, the kernel does a fixup.
