[PATCH v2 5/6] x86/uaccess: Add user pointer masking to copy_to_user()
Posted by Josh Poimboeuf 1 month, 1 week ago
Add user pointer masking to copy_to_user() to mitigate Spectre v1.

A write in a mispredicted access_ok() branch to a user-controlled kernel
address can populate the rest of the affected cache line with kernel
data.
