From: Dan Williams Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 01:02:33 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86: Introduce barrier_nospec X-Git-Tag: v3.16.56~23 X-Git-Url: http://git.hungrycats.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aaafddb9c55db1b3f015062f73bbe2c76c528cc2;p=linux x86: Introduce barrier_nospec commit b3d7ad85b80bbc404635dca80f5b129f6242bc7a upstream. Rename the open coded form of this instruction sequence from rdtsc_ordered() into a generic barrier primitive, barrier_nospec(). One of the mitigations for Spectre variant1 vulnerabilities is to fence speculative execution after successfully validating a bounds check. I.e. force the result of a bounds check to resolve in the instruction pipeline to ensure speculative execution honors that result before potentially operating on out-of-bounds data. No functional changes.
