Hi Linus,
A couple of late fixes here, but one that we've been sitting on for a
few weeks while the details were worked out. Specifically, we now
enforce USER_DS on taking exceptions whilst in the kernel, which avoids
leaking kernel data to userspace through things like perf. The other
patch is an update to a workaround for a hardware erratum on some Cavium
SoCs.
Please pull,
Will
