From b64ed19b93c368be0fb6acf05377e8e3a694c92b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 03:02:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu: Add 'unsafe_fsgsbase' to enable CR4.FSGSBASE This is temporary. It will allow the next few patches to be tested incrementally. Setting unsafe_fsgsbase is a root hole. Don't do it. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Chang S.
