[patch V2 14/16] x86/iopl: Restrict iopl() permission scope

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Nov 11 2019 - 17:36:08 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The access to the full I/O port range can be also provided by the TSS I/O
bitmap, but that would require to copy 8k of data on scheduling in the
task. As shown with the sched out optimization TSS.io_bitmap_base can be
used to switch the incoming task to a preallocated I/O bitmap which has all
bits zero, i.e. allows access to all I/O ports.

Implementing this allows to provide an iopl() emulation mode which restricts
the IOPL level 3 permissions to I/O port access but removes the STI/CLI
permission which is coming with the hardware IOPL mechansim.

Provide a config option to switch IOPL to emulation mode, make it the
default and while at it also provide an option to disable IOPL completely.

V2: Fixed the 32bit build fail by increasing the cpu entry area size
Move the TSS update out of the iopl() emulation code.
