3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marios Pomonis <pomonis@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 670564559ca35b439c8d8861fc399451ddf95137 upstream. This fixes a Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerability in ioapic_write_indirect(). This function contains index computations based on the (attacker-controlled) IOREGSEL register. This patch depends on patch "KVM: x86: Protect ioapic_read_indirect() from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks". Fixes: 70f93dae32ac ("KVM: Use temporary variable to shorten lines.")
