4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 94ffb030b6d31ec840bb811be455dd2e26a4f43e upstream. stream is 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: sound/core/pcm.c:140 snd_pcm_control_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'pcm->streams' [r] (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing stream before using it to index pcm->streams 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].
