Subject: array_index_nospec: Sanitize speculative array de-references
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
(cherry picked from commit f3804203306e098dae9ca51540fcd5eb700d7f40)
array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate
against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary
checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec()
implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across
multiple architectures (ARM, x86).
Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.
