If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Feb 8 03:32:24 CET 2018 From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:02:28 -0800 Subject: x86: Implement array_index_mask_nospec From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> (cherry picked from commit babdde2698d482b6c0de1eab4f697cf5856c5859) array_index_nospec() uses a mask to sanitize user controllable array indexes, i.e. generate a 0 mask if 'index' >= 'size', and a ~0 mask otherwise. While the default array_index_mask_nospec() handles the carry-bit from the (index - size) result in software. The x86 array_index_mask_nospec() does the same, but the carry-bit is handled in the processor CF flag without conditional instructions in the control flow.
