[PATCH 00/18] arm64: invoke syscalls with pt_regs

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 05:47:02 EST


This series reworks arm64's syscall handling to minimize the propagation
of user-controlled register values into speculated code paths. As with
x86 [1], a wrapper is generated for each syscall, which extracts the
argument from a struct pt_regs. During kernel entry from userspace,
registers are zeroed.

The arm64 kernel code directly invokes some syscalls which the x86 code
doesn't, so I've added ksys_* wrappers for these, following the x86
example. The rest of the series is arm64-specific.

I've pushed the series out to my arm64/syscall-regs branch [2] on
kernel.org.

Thanks,
Mark.
