Include in asm/ppc_asm.h macros to be used in multiple successive patches to implement zeroising architected registers in interrupt handlers. Registers will be sanitised in this fashion in future patches to reduce the speculation influence of user-controlled register values. These mitigations will be configurable through the CONFIG_INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS Kconfig option. Included are macros for conditionally zeroising registers and restoring as required with the mitigation enabled. With the mitigation disabled, non-volatiles must be restored on demand at separate locations to those required by the mitigation.

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.
