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.
