modify_ldt(2) leaves old LDT mapped after we switch over to the new one. Memory for the old LDT gets freed and the pages can be re-used. Leaving the mapping in place can have security implications. The mapping is present in userspace copy of page tables and Meltdown-like attack can read these freed and possibly reused pages. It's relatively simple to fix: just unmap the old LDT and flush TLB before freeing LDT memory. We can now avoid flushing TLB on map_ldt_struct() as the slot is unmapped and flushed by unmap_ldt_struct() (or never mapped in the first place). The overhead of the change should be negligible. It shouldn't be a particularly hot path anyway. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
