______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has three
   fixes is now available.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 RT kernel was updated to receive various
   security and bugfixes.


   Transient execution side-channel attacks attacking the Branch History
   Buffer (BHB), named "Branch Target Injection" and "Intra-Mode Branch
   History Injection" are now mitigated.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2022-0001: Fixed Branch History Injection vulnerability
     (bsc#1191580).
   - CVE-2022-0002: Fixed Intra-Mode Branch Target Injection vulnerability
     (bsc#1191580).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - btrfs: check for missing device in btrfs_trim_fs (bsc#1195701).
   - lib/iov_iter: initialize "flags" in new pipe_buffer (bsc#1196584).
   - nfsd: allow delegation state ids to be revoked and then freed
     (bsc#1192483).
   - nfsd: allow open state ids to be revoked and then freed (bsc#1192483).
   - nfsd: do not admin-revoke NSv4.0 state ids (bsc#1192483).
   - nfsd: prepare for supporting admin-revocation of state (bsc#1192483).
   - powerpc/pseries/ddw: Revert "Extend upper limit for huge DMA window for
     persistent memory" (bsc#1195995 ltc#196394).
