In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/pseries: Whitelist dtl slub object for copying to userspace

Reading the dispatch trace log from /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/cpu-* results in a BUG() when the config CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled as shown below.

Commit 6d07d1cd300f ("usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0") requires that only whitelisted areas in slab/slub objects can be copied to userspace when usercopy hardening is enabled using CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. Dtl contains hypervisor dispatch events which are expected to be read by privileged users. Hence mark this safe for user access. Specify useroffset=0 and usersize=DISPATCH_LOG_BYTES to whitelist the entire object.
