Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mm: harden branch predictor before opening interrupts during fault

This patch was send by "Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>"
in [1] and rebase in v5.10-rc6.

The BUG still exists in v5.10-rc, and the previous disscussion was [2].
This issue can be easily reproduced in ARM with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and
CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR by the following userspace program:

  int *p = 0xffff3ff4;
  *p = 123;
