[PATCH 3.2 084/104] x86: Implement array_index_mask_nospec

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Mar 11 2018 - 23:18:18 EST


3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

commit babdde2698d482b6c0de1eab4f697cf5856c5859 upstream.

array_index_nospec() uses a mask to sanitize user controllable array
indexes, i.e. generate a 0 mask if 'index' >= 'size', and a ~0 mask
otherwise. While the default array_index_mask_nospec() handles the
carry-bit from the (index - size) result in software.

The x86 array_index_mask_nospec() does the same, but the carry-bit is
handled in the processor CF flag without conditional instructions in the
control flow.
