ARM: 8794/1: uaccess: Prevent speculative use of the current addr_limit
Commit 621afc67 upstream. A mispredicted conditional call to set_fs could result in the wrong addr_limit being forwarded under speculation to a subsequent access_ok check, potentially forming part of a spectre-v1 attack using uaccess routines. This patch prevents this forwarding from taking place, but putting heavy barriers in set_fs after writing the addr_limit. Porting commit c2f0ad4f ("arm64: uaccess: Prevent speculative use of the current addr_limit").
