4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com
commit 6b8cf5cc9965673951f1ab3f0e3cf23d06e3e2ee upstream.
At entry userspace may have populated registers with values that could otherwise be useful in a speculative execution attack. Clear them to minimize the kernel's attack surface.
