6.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b0bf1afde7c34698cf61422fa8ee60e690dc25c3 ]
The barrier_nospec() after the array bounds check is overkill and
painfully slow for arches which implement it.
Furthermore, most arches don't implement it, so they remain exposed to
Spectre v1 (which can affect pretty much any CPU with branch
prediction).
Instead, clamp the user pointer to a valid range so it's guaranteed to
be a valid array index even when the bounds check mispredicts.
Fixes: 8270cb10c068 ("cdrom: Fix spectre-v1 gadget")
