Can you ask the architecture folks to clarify the situation? And, if your notes are indeed correct, don't we need code to handle spurious faults?
I'll double check that I didn't misunderstand the situation and that it has not changed on processors with shadow stacks. But, as far as spurious faults, wouldn't it just be a fault because we've transiently gone to Present=0? We already do that when clearing the Dirty bit, so I'm not sure that's new. We surely already handle that one. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
