Subject: [PATCH v2 06/19] asm-generic/barrier: mask speculative execution
flows
'__array_ptr' is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate against
Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses memory bounds
checks via speculative execution). The '__array_ptr' implementation
appears safe for current generation cpus across multiple architectures.
In comparison, 'ifence_array_ptr' uses a hard / architectural 'ifence'
approach to preclude the possibility speculative execution. However, it
is not the default given a concern for avoiding instruction-execution
barriers in potential fast paths.
Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.
