So I think this wants:

#ifndef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#error Compiler lacks asm-goto, can generate unsafe code
#endif

Suppose the generic array_ptr_mask() is unsafe on some arch and they
only implement ifence_array_ptr() and they compile without asm-goto,
then the above reverts to a dynamic condition, which can be speculated.
If we then speculate into the 'bad' __array_ptr we're screwed.

In general I think I would write all this in a form like:

#define __array_ptr(base, idx, sz)					\
({									\
	union { typeof(*(base)) *_ptr; unsigned long _bit; } __u;	\
	typeof(*(base)) *_arr = (base);					\
	unsigned long _i = (idx);					\
	unsigned long _mask = array_ptr_mask(_i, (sz));			\
									\
	__u._ptr = _arr + (_i & _mask);					\
	__u._bit &= _mask;						\
	__u._ptr;							\
})

#if defined(array_ptr_mask) && defined(ifence_array_ptr)

#ifndef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#error Compiler lacks asm-goto, can generate unsafe code
#endif

#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz)				\
({								\
	typeof(*(base)) *__ret;					\
								\
	if (static_branch_unlikely(&nospec_key))		\
		__ret = ifence_array_ptr(base, idx, sz);	\
	else							\
		__ret = __array_ptr(base, idx, sz);		\
	__ret;							\
})

#elif defined(array_ptr_mask)

#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) __array_ptr(base, idx, sz)

#elif defined(ifence_array_ptr)

#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) ifence_array_ptr(base, idx, sz)

#else

/* XXX we want a suitable warning here ? */

#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) (idx < sz ? base + idx : NULL)

#endif

and stick the generic array_ptr_mask into asm-generic/nospec.h or
something.

Then the static key stuff is limited to architectures that define _both_
array_ptr_mask and ifence_array_ptr.
