Subject: [PATCH v6 00/13] spectre variant1 mitigations for tip/x86/pti

Hi Thomas, Ingo,

Here is another spin of the Spectre variant1 mitigations.

Changes since v5 [1]:
* Use the _nospec suffix for all new infrastructure, i.e.
  s/ifence/barrier_nospec/, s/array_idx/array_index_nospec/,
  and s/array_idx_mask/array_index_mask_nospec/. (Ingo)

* Fix up array_index_mask_nospec() to have a proper kernel doc comment
  (Thomas)

* Fix up copyright attribution in include/linux/nospec.h (Ingo)

* Spell out 'index' and 'size' throughout the patch set rather than
  'idx' and 'sz'. (Ingo).

* Clarify placement of barrier_nospec() relative to stac() in
  __uaccess_begin_nospec() (Ingo)

* Drop the syscall fast path elimination patch out of this series since
  Andy is handling that separately. (Andy)

* Simplify the x86 array_index_mask_nospec() assembly, no need for a
  separate 32-bit version (Ingo)

* Clarify that the 'cmp, sbb' sequence in the get_user_<size> variants
  are effectively open coded array_index_nospec() instances where the
  array base is the user pointer and the array limit is the task address
  limit. (Ingo)

* Replace '<function identifier>' with <function identifier>()
  throughout the series. (Ingo)

* Comment and whitespace fixups in asm/barrier.h (Ingo)

* Split the definition of barrier_nospec() into its own patch separate
  from its new usages with __uaccess_begin_nospec(). (Ingo)

* Split the __uaccess_begin_nospec() patch into one that cleans up open
  coded stac/clac usage and one that uses the new
  __uaccess_begin_nospec() helper. (Ingo)

* Change the contents of the 'bug/spectre_v1' sysfs file to:
  "Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization" since these changes do raise
  the kernel's defenses. (Ingo)
