Interrupt handlers in asm/exceptions-64s.S contain a great deal of common code produced by the GEN_COMMON macros. Currently, at the exit point of the macro, r12 will contain the contents of the MSR. A future patch will cause these macros to zeroise architected registers to avoid potential speculation influence of user data. Provide an IOption that signals that r12 must be retained, as the interrupt handler assumes it to hold the contents of the MSR.

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.
