Changes since v3 [1]
* Drop 'ifence_array_ptr' and associated compile-time + run-time
  switching and just use the masking approach all the time.

* Convert 'get_user' to use pointer sanitization via masking rather than
  lfence. '__get_user' and associated paths still rely on
  lfence. (Linus)

      "Basically, the rule is trivial: find all 'stac' users, and use
       address masking if those users already integrate the limit
       check, and lfence they don't."

* At syscall entry sanitize the syscall number under speculation
  to remove a user controlled pointer de-reference in kernel
  space.  (Linus)

* Fix a raw lfence in the kvm code (added for v4.15-rc8) to use
  'array_ptr'.

* Propose 'array_idx' as a way to sanitize user input that is
  later used as an array index, but where the validation is
  happening in a different code block than the array reference.
  (Christian).

* Fix grammar in speculation.txt (Kees)

Quoting Mark's original RFC:

"Recently, Google Project Zero discovered several classes of attack
against speculative execution. One of these, known as variant-1, allows
explicit bounds checks to be bypassed under speculation, providing an
arbitrary read gadget. Further details can be found on the GPZ blog [2]
and the Documentation patch in this series."

A precondition of using this attack on the kernel is to get a user
controlled pointer de-referenced (under speculation) in privileged code.
The primary source of user controlled pointers in the kernel is the
arguments passed to 'get_user' and '__get_user'. An example of other
user controlled pointers are user-controlled array / pointer offsets.

Better tooling is needed to find more arrays / pointers with user
controlled indices / offsets that can be converted to use 'array_ptr' or
'array_idx'. A few are included in this set, and these are not expected
to be complete. That said, the 'get_user' protections raise the bar on
finding a vulnerable gadget in the kernel.

These patches are also available via the 'nospec-v4' git branch here:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/linux nospec-v4

Note that the BPF fix for Spectre variant1 is merged for 4.15-rc8.
