      x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels · b3b42ac2
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      
      
      The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
      restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer.  We have
      a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but
      it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in
      32-bit mode.
      
      Since 16-bit support is somewhat crippled anyway on a 64-bit kernel
      (no V86 mode), and most (if not quite all) 64-bit processors support
      virtualization for the users who really need it, simply reject
      attempts at creating a 16-bit segment when running on top of a 64-bit
      kernel.
