Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 45/87] selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Fix GS == 1, 2, and 3 tests
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2020 21:20:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201223022103.2792705-45-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201223022103.2792705-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 716572b0003ef67a4889bd7d85baf5099c5a0248 ]
Setting GS to 1, 2, or 3 causes a nonsensical part of the IRET microcode
to change GS back to zero on a return from kernel mode to user mode. The
result is that these tests fail randomly depending on when interrupts
happen. Detect when this happens and let the test pass.
