I built a test kernel with the requested commit. The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1792957
Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? Note about installing test kernels: • If the test kernel is prior to 4.15(Bionic) you need to install the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. • If the test kernel is 4.15(Bionic) or newer, you need to install the linux-modules, linux-modules-extra and linux-image-unsigned .deb packages.

This is intended for use in security-conscious settings where users are concerned about possible side-channel attacks between threads which could perhaps enable one VM to attack another VM on the same core, or the host.
