Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

On systems with v8.2 we switch the 'vaxorcism' of guest SError with an alternative sequence that uses the ESB-instruction, then reads DISR_EL1. This saves the unmasking and remasking of asynchronous exceptions. We do this after we've saved the guest registers and restored the host's. Any SError that becomes pending due to this will be accounted to the guest, when it actually occurred during host-execution. Move the ESB-instruction as early as possible. Any guest SError will become pending due to this ESB-instruction and then consumed to DISR_EL1 before the host touches anything. This lets us account for host/guest SError precisely on the guest exit exception boundary. Because the ESB-instruction now lands in the preamble section of the vectors, we need to add it to the unpatched indirect vectors too, and to any sequence that may be patched in over the top. The ESB-instruction always lives in the head of the vectors, to be before any memory write. Whereas the register-store always lives in the tail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
