[RFC][PATCH 19/24] x86/pti: Execute page fault handler on the kernel stack
From: Alexandre Chartre
Date: Mon Nov 09 2020 - 09:44:02 EST
After a page fault from userland, the kernel is entered and it switches
the stack to the PTI stack which is mapped both in the kernel and in
the user page-table. When executing the page fault handler, switch
to the kernel stack (which is mapped only in the kernel page-table)
so that no kernel data leak to the userland through the stack.
