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

After we found a workaround for a hang on context load, Ben Widawsky
found confirmation that it was for an issue with waking from rc6 and
loading a context image.
The workaround from on high suggests that we should
I915_WRITE(RING_WAIT_FOR_RC6_EXIT(engine->mmio_base),
_MASKED_FIELD(RING_RC6_SEL_WRITE_ADDR_MASK,
RING_RC6_SEL_WRITE_ADDR_UPPER_LEFT));
in our rc6 setup for Haswell GT1, but on applying that we find instead
that the machine encounters a GT forcewake error and locks up.
As we are removing HW semaphore usage in the next patch, and the
suggested workaround is no improvement, we need to
decouple the PSMI workaround from HAS_SEMAPHORES to IS_HSW_GT1.

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.
