[PATCH 5/6] powerpc: Use barrier_nospec in copy_from_user()

Tue Apr 24 14:15:58 AEST 2018


Based on the x86 commit doing the same.

See commit 304ec1b05031 ("x86/uaccess: Use __uaccess_begin_nospec()
and uaccess_try_nospec") and b3bbfb3fb5d2 ("x86: Introduce
__uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec") for more detail.

In all cases we are ordering the load from the potentially
user-controlled pointer vs a previous branch based on an access_ok()
check or similar.

Base on a patch from Michal Suchanek.
