Xenial/Trusty/Precise are currently lacking full support of upstream's Spectre
v1 mitigation. Add the missing patches and merge them with Ubuntu's current
implementation.

== SRU Justification ==
Ubuntu's Spectre v1 mitigation is based on the original embargoed patchset
which introduced a barrier macro to prevent speculation beyond array boundaries
for user controlled indices. What eventually landed in upstream is slightly
different and uses a barrier macro in combination with a masking solution (plus
syscall table and user pointer sanitation). During the updates to newer stable
upstream versions, all those patches were skipped. After reviewing them, we
want to bring them back and merge them with the current implementation which
brings us back in sync with upstream stable.

== Fix ==
Add all the missing Spectre v1 patches from upstream stable 4.4.118 to 4.4.131.
Where appropriate, replace Ubuntu's additional barriers with the masking macro.

== Regression Potential ==
Low. The patches have been in upstream for quite a while now and we keep the
speculation barriers that are currently in Ubuntu but not in upstream.

== Test Case ==
TBD.

Compile-tested all supported architectures.

1) It seems like your final patch "UBUNTU: SAUCE: filter: Use barrier_nospec() instead of osb()" should actually be part of the patch just before it, as part of the refactor?
2) This is probably a stupid question, but why do some osb() calls stay as they are (only get renamed) while others become a call to array_index_nospec() ?
3) Regarding your "needed?" comments, presumably, anywhere osb() was being called before will still need a barrier - so why do you think they would NOT be needed? (Where did that set of 'speculatively-accessed arrays originally come from anyway? I don't see barriers in these locations in mainline or stable)
4) (minor) should the cherry-pick/backport SHAs mention that they're from linux-stable ?

Yes, the two could be squashed together. At the time I thought the
logical separation made sense but I do realize that it breaks bisection.
I have no issues with merging the two.


> 2) This is probably a stupid question, but why do some osb() calls stay as they are (only get renamed) while others become a call to array_index_nospec() ?

array_index_nospec is a macro that upstream introduced to specifically
prevent speculation beyond array boundaries (presumably with less
overhead than osb calls). So wherever arrays are involved we use the
macro and osb in all the other places.


> 3) Regarding your "needed?" comments, presumably, anywhere osb() was being called before will still need a barrier - so why do you think they would NOT be needed? (Where did that set of 'speculatively-accessed arrays originally come from anyway? I don't see barriers in these locations in mainline or stable)

What we pulled into Ubuntu was a series of embargoed patches but what
finally landed in upstream (and what this patch series is trying to get
us towards to) is different. The embargoed patches added osb calls in
places where upstream didn't add them, that's why you don't seem them in
mainline. There was some lengthy discussion about whether those are
actually needed or not and it looks like the original patch author
finally gave up (or was convinced) so they got dropped from the upstream
patches. We keep them just because :-) No, by removing them we could
introduce a regression and keeping them doesn't hurt much.


> 4) (minor) should the cherry-pick/backport SHAs mention that they're from linux-stable ?

If they are, then yes. I can't remember :-)

Thanks for the feedback!

I went through the set and ended more or less with the same comments as Khaled:
- some patches look like picked from 4.4.y without mentioning that
- personally I like to start a new section with the backported/cherry picked
  line, this makes it a bit more obvious where the new block starts. Not really
  important but some patches do it that way and some not. So either one style
  or the other would be good.
- I would squash moving that WARN_ON_ONCE and removing it into one patch with
  the commit message of the removal
- Renaming osb() and fixing the last uses really should be one patch for bi-
  section.
