      x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES · a1f3f3d8
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      commit f647d7c1 upstream.

Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.

This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
gotchas in the code.

Before this patch, the both tests below failed.  With this
patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.

      x86/tls: Disallow unusual TLS segments · 7cc556d2
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      commit 0e58af4e upstream.

Users have no business installing custom code segments into the
GDT, and segments that are not present but are otherwise valid
are a historical source of interesting attacks.

For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit.  (Prior to
this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.)

This is an ABI break.  I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and
none of them look like they'll have any trouble.

Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes
no known bugs.  Given the possibility of ABI issues, this
probably shouldn't be backported quickly.

      x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix · b9372b87
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      commit 41bdc785 upstream.

Installing a 16-bit RW data segment into the GDT defeats espfix.
AFAICT this will not affect glibc, Wine, or dosemu at all.

      isofs: Fix infinite looping over CE entries · b6d20edb
      Jan Kara authored 
      commit f54e18f1 upstream.

Rock Ridge extensions define so called Continuation Entries (CE) which
define where is further space with Rock Ridge data. Corrupted isofs
image can contain arbitrarily long chain of these, including a one
containing loop and thus causing kernel to end in an infinite loop when
traversing these entries.

Limit the traversal to 32 entries which should be more than enough space
to store all the Rock Ridge data.
