[PATCH 1/2] arm64: entry: Apply BP hardening for high-priority synchronous exceptions

Fri Feb 2 09:31:39 PST 2018


Software-step and PC alignment fault exceptions have higher priority than
instruction abort exceptions, so apply the BP hardening hooks there too
if the user PC appears to reside in kernel space.
