Linux kernel source tree
abc850e761
Provide a straight forward implementation to check for and eventually
clear/fixup critical sections in user space.
The non-debug version does only the minimal sanity checks and aims for
efficiency.
There are two attack vectors, which are checked for:
1) An abort IP which is in the kernel address space. That would cause at
least x86 to return to kernel space via IRET.
2) A rogue critical section descriptor with an abort IP pointing to some
arbitrary address, which is not preceded by the RSEQ signature.
If the section descriptors are invalid then the resulting misbehaviour of
the user space application is not the kernels problem.
The kernel provides a run-time switchable debug slow path, which implements
the full zoo of checks including termination of the task when one of the
gazillion conditions is not met.
Replace the zoo in rseq.c with it and invoke it from the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
handler. Move the remainders into the CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ section, which will
be replaced and removed in a subsequent step.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
