Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc64/ftrace: fix clobbered r15 during livepatching
While r15 is clobbered always with PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE, it is
not restored in livepatch sequence leading to not so obvious fails
like below:
BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc0000000000f9078
