Intel ID: PSIRT-TA-201910-001 CVEID: CVE-2019-14615 Intel GPU Hardware prior to Gen11 does not clear EU state during a context switch. This can result in information leakage between contexts. For Gen8 and Gen9, hardware provides a mechanism for fast cleardown of the EU state, by issuing a PIPE_CONTROL with bit 27 set. We can use this in a context batch buffer to explicitly cleardown the state on every context switch. As this workaround is already in place for gen8, we can borrow the code verbatim for Gen9.

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.
