4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d49dbfade96d5b0863ca8a90122a805edd5ef50a upstream. val can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: vers/hwmon/nct6775.c:2698 store_pwm_weight_temp_sel() warn: potential spectre issue 'data->temp_src' [r] Fix this by sanitizing val before using it to index data->temp_src Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
