[PATCH 11/11] vsp1_rwpf: fix potential Spectre variant 1

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon Apr 23 2018 - 13:53:03 EST


code->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_rwpf.c:47 vsp1_rwpf_enum_mbus_code() warn: potential spectre issue 'codes'

Fix this by sanitizing code->index before using it to index
codes.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
