[PATCH] posix-timers: Protect posix clock array access against speculation

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Feb 15 2018 - 08:27:34 EST


The (clock) id argument of clockid_to_kclock() comes straight from user
space via various syscalls and is used as index into the posix_clocks
array.

Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation.
