So let me recap with the changes I gather for 4.18 and 4.19:

4.18:

* Change struct rseq_cs field types from LINUX_FIELD_u32_u64() to __u64 in
  uapi/linux/rseq.h,
* Compare rseq->rseq_cs->abort_ip with TASK_SIZE before using it. Kill offending
  process if its value is over TASK_SIZE,
* Explicitly check that padding of rseq->rseq_cs is zero on 32-bit kernels
  (#ifndef __LP64__).

4.19:

* Introduce instruction_pointer_set() with input validation, use it when setting
  IP to abort_ip in rseq. This replaces the comparison of abort_ip with TASK_SIZE.

Is that consistent with what you have in mind ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
