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. Since v1 [3]: * Rebase atop of arm64 for-next/core (for SSBD conflicts) * Move ksys_personality logic into <linux/syscalls.h> * Move kcompat_sys_* wrappers to <linux/compat.h> * Fix scno bounds check to use unsigned comparison * Fix sve_user_reset() call in el0_svc_handler() * Add BUILD_BUG() to the !CONFIG_ARM64_SVE stubs * Accumulate acked-by / reviewed-by tags Since v2 [4]: * Rebase to v4.18-rc1 * Take upper 32 RES0 bits of SCTLR_ELx into account * Accumulate acks Thanks, Mark.
