[PATCH 3.14 02/52] x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 41bdc78544b8a93a9c6814b8bbbfef966272abbe upstream.

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