From 3df48c981d5a9610e02e9270b1bc4274fb536710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:46:21 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Ensure all EBB register state is cleared on fork() In commit 330a1eb "Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s" I messed up clear_task_ebb(). It clears some but not all of the task's Event Based Branch (EBB) registers when we duplicate a task struct. That allows a child task to observe the EBBHR & EBBRR of its parent, which it should not be able to do. Fix it by clearing EBBHR & EBBRR.
