Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: add spectre boundry for syscall dispatch table
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:30:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026032456-crinkle-washable-96ea@gregkh> (raw)
The LoongArch syscall number is directly controlled by userspace, but
does not have a array_index_nospec() boundry to prevent access past the
syscall function pointer tables.

My scripts caught this as I think LoongArch is vulnerable to the
old-style Spectre 1 issues, but I couldn't find where it was addressed
in the syscall path. Did I just miss it somewhere, or is this patch
still needed?
