Subject[PATCH 4.14 057/167] x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

commit 3ac6d8c787b835b997eb23e43e09aa0895ef7d58 upstream.

Clear the 'extra' registers on entering the 64-bit kernel for exceptions
and interrupts. The common registers are not cleared since they are
likely clobbered well before they can be exploited in a speculative
execution attack.
