[PATCH 0/2] net: socket: Fix potential spectre v1 gadgets
From: Jeremy Cline
Date: Fri Jul 27 2018 - 18:44:18 EST
Hi folks,
This fixes a pair of potential spectre v1 gadgets.
Note that because the speculation window is large, the policy is to stop
the speculative out-of-bounds load and not worry if the attack can be
completed with a dependent load or store[0].
