Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
s390/entry: Scrub r12 register on kernel entry<br />
<br />
Before commit f33f2d4c7c80 ("s390/bp: remove TIF_ISOLATE_BP"),<br />
all entry handlers loaded r12 with the current task pointer<br />
(lg %r12,__LC_CURRENT) for use by the BPENTER/BPEXIT macros. That<br />
commit removed TIF_ISOLATE_BP, dropping both the branch prediction<br />
macros and the r12 load, but did not add r12 to the register clearing<br />
sequence.<br />
<br />
Add the missing xgr %r12,%r12 to make the register scrub consistent<br />
across all entry points.
