Subject: [PATCH 4.15 041/163] x86/entry/64/compat: Clear registers for compat syscalls, to reduce speculation attack surface

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.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.
