commit 8f66fce0f46560b9e910787ff7ad0974441c4f9c upstream. The completer in the "or,ev %r1,%r30,%r30" instruction is reversed, so we are not clipping the LWS number when we are called from a 32-bit process (W=0). We need to nulify the following depdi instruction when the least-significant bit of %r30 is 1. If the %r20 register is not clipped, a user process could perform a LWS call that would branch to an undefined location in the kernel and potentially crash the machine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
