    x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return · 5ea0727b
    Thomas Garnier authored
    Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to
    user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and elevate
    privileges [1].
    
    The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on
    return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if
    needed.
    
    The addr_limit_user_check function is added as a cross-architecture
    function to check the address limit.
