[ Upstream commit 02a16aa13574c8526beadfc9ae8cc9b66315fa2d ]
Commit
a7e1f67ed29f ("x86/msr: Filter MSR writes")
introduced a module parameter to disable writing to the MSR device file
and tainted the kernel upon writing. As MSR registers can be written by
the X86_IOC_WRMSR_REGS ioctl too, the same filtering and tainting should
be applied to the ioctl as well.

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.
