[PATCH 4.4 63/75] ARM: 8794/1: uaccess: Prevent speculative use of the current addr_limit

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@arm.com>

Commit 621afc677465db231662ed126ae1f355bf8eac47 upstream.

A mispredicted conditional call to set_fs could result in the wrong
addr_limit being forwarded under speculation to a subsequent access_ok
check, potentially forming part of a spectre-v1 attack using uaccess
routines.

This patch prevents this forwarding from taking place, but putting heavy
barriers in set_fs after writing the addr_limit.

Porting commit c2f0ad4fc089cff8 ("arm64: uaccess: Prevent speculative use
of the current addr_limit").
