Can you use short hash and commit title format? Also it's no longer
just reverting that patch, so maybe just come up with a new title
for this patch and reference the two patches here?

Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

Oh, I meant to say for the last patch and this one. Can you move
them to after patch 13? That way all your build and wrapper mucking
are in the first patches, and then all the zeroizing comes next.

Thanks,
Nick

Save caller's original r3 state to the kernel stackframe before entering
system_call_exception. This allows for user registers to be cleared by
the time system_call_exception is entered, reducing the influence of
user registers on speculation within the kernel.

Prior to this commit, orig_r3 was saved at the beginning of
system_call_exception. Instead, save orig_r3 while the user value is
still live in r3.

Also replicate this early save in 32-bit. A similar save was removed in
commit 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit logic in C for PPC32")
when 32-bit adopted system_call_exception. Revert its removal of orig_r3
saves.
