Subject: [PATCH] x86/its: Always return a writable page for dynamic thunks
Date: Wed,  4 Jun 2025 13:47:15 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250604104715.700149-1-nik.borisov@suse.com> (raw)

its_alloc unconditionally allocates and return a ROX page, but setting
it RW is predicated on its_mod being set. This can cause a #GP on the
memset in its_allocate_thunk() if its_mod is not set.

Since the function always returns a page, ensure it's always set
writable so it can be initialized properly.

Fixes: 872df34d7c51 ("x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches")
