[PATCH 4.14 059/195] [Variant 1/Spectre-v1] arm64: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 15 2018 - 10:32:16 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx>


Commit 4d8efc2d5ee4 upstream.

Similarly to x86, mitigate speculation past an access_ok() check by
masking the pointer against the address limit before use.

Even if we don't expect speculative writes per se, it is plausible that
a CPU may still speculate at least as far as fetching a cache line for
writing, hence we also harden put_user() and clear_user() for peace of
mind.
