-Subject: [PATCH 42/93] nospec: Kill array_index_nospec_mask_check()
-
-commit 1d91c1d2c80cb70e2e553845e278b87a960c04da upstream.
-
-There are multiple problems with the dynamic sanity checking in
-array_index_nospec_mask_check():
-
-* It causes unnecessary overhead in the 32-bit case since integer sized
- @index values will no longer cause the check to be compiled away like
- in the 64-bit case.
-
-* In the 32-bit case it may trigger with user controllable input when
- the expectation is that should only trigger during development of new
- kernel enabling.
-
-* The macro reuses the input parameter in multiple locations which is
- broken if someone passes an expression like 'index++' to
- array_index_nospec().
