So I think this wants:
#ifndef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#error Compiler lacks asm-goto, can generate unsafe code
#endif
Suppose the generic array_ptr_mask() is unsafe on some arch and they
only implement ifence_array_ptr() and they compile without asm-goto,
then the above reverts to a dynamic condition, which can be speculated.
If we then speculate into the 'bad' __array_ptr we're screwed.

In general I think I would write all this in a form like:
#define __array_ptr(base, idx, sz) \
({ \
union { typeof(*(base)) *_ptr; unsigned long _bit; } __u; \
typeof(*(base)) *_arr = (base); \
unsigned long _i = (idx); \
unsigned long _mask = array_ptr_mask(_i, (sz)); \
\
__u._ptr = _arr + (_i & _mask); \
__u._bit &= _mask; \
__u._ptr; \
})
#if defined(array_ptr_mask) && defined(ifence_array_ptr)
#ifndef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#error Compiler lacks asm-goto, can generate unsafe code
#endif
#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) \
({ \
typeof(*(base)) *__ret; \
\
if (static_branch_unlikely(&nospec_key)) \
__ret = ifence_array_ptr(base, idx, sz); \
else \
__ret = __array_ptr(base, idx, sz); \
__ret; \
})
#elif defined(array_ptr_mask)
#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) __array_ptr(base, idx, sz)
#elif defined(ifence_array_ptr)
#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) ifence_array_ptr(base, idx, sz)
#else
/* XXX we want a suitable warning here ? */
#define array_ptr(base, idx, sz) (idx < sz ? base + idx : NULL)
#endif
and stick the generic array_ptr_mask into asm-generic/nospec.h or
something.
Then the static key stuff is limited to architectures that define _both_
array_ptr_mask and ifence_array_ptr.
