Subject: [PATCH 4/4] powerpc/64s: Sanitise user registers on interrupt in pseries
Date: Thu,  3 Nov 2022 09:45:28 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221102224528.639894-4-rmclure@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221102224528.639894-1-rmclure@linux.ibm.com>

Cause pseries platforms to default to zeroising all potentially user-defined
registers when entering the kernel by means of any interrupt source,
reducing user-influence of the kernel and the likelihood or producing
speculation gadgets. Interrupt sources include syscalls.
