From 0c89c81045ecacb413a4cd61ec5187f7aa688074 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 32/42] x86/syscall: Sanitize syscall table de-references under
 speculation

(cherry picked from commit 2fbd7af5af8665d18bcefae3e9700be07e22b681)

The syscall table base is a user controlled function pointer in kernel
space. Use array_index_nospec() to prevent any out of bounds speculation.

While retpoline prevents speculating into a userspace directed target it
does not stop the pointer de-reference, the concern is leaking memory
relative to the syscall table base, by observing instruction cache
behavior.
