CPU sends an IPI - setting the IPI priority for all secondary cpus

i.e, not executing xics_ipi_action(). Hence, IPI is not cleared. When
exited from the debugger, one of these CPUs could become the primary kexec
CPU. Since the IPI is not cleared, causing this issue in kdump boot. This

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually

18 years ago[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
Andi Kleen [Thu, 20 Apr 2006 00:36:45 +0000 (02:36 +0200)] 
[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing

Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore,
the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need
to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned

Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless
Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for
the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change
