Subject: [PATCH V2] posix-timers: Protect posix clock array access against speculation
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2018 17:21:55 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1802151718320.1296@nanos.tec.linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1802151550330.1296@nanos.tec.linutronix.de>

The clockid argument of clockid_to_kclock() comes straight from user space
via various syscalls and is used as index into the posix_clocks array.

Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation. Remove the
redundant check for !posix_clock[id] as this is another source for
speculation and does not provide any advantage over the return
posix_clock[id] path which returns NULL in that case anyway.

V2: Remove the redundant !posix_clocks[id] check.
