From 625b7b7f79c66626fb2b7687fc1a58309a57edd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 21:45:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/vsyscall: Change the default vsyscall mode to xonly The use case for full emulation over xonly is very esoteric, e.g. magic instrumentation tools. Change the default to the safer xonly mode.
