Except that I haven't yet found a way to pass the information to the
vdso... in the past, there used to be an SPRG that was readable by
userland that I could have used but I can't see that working on recent
CPUs. The PIR isn't quite portable (though the vDSO can have per-cpu
model) and we don't quite know for sure what's in there, especially on
shared processor machines.
Any idea ?
Ben.
