[PATCH v7 24/26] x86: Enable User-Mode Instruction Prevention

Show all headers | View raw

User_mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP) is enabled by setting/clearing a
bit in %cr4.

It makes sense to enable UMIP at some point while booting, before user
spaces come up. Like SMAP and SMEP, is not critical to have it enabled
very early during boot. This is because UMIP is relevant only when there is
a userspace to be protected from. Given the similarities in relevance, it
makes sense to enable UMIP along with SMAP and SMEP.

UMIP is enabled by default. It can be disabled by adding clearcpuid=514
to the kernel parameters.
