If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams (cherry picked from commit 2fbd7af5af8665d18bcefae3e9700be07e22b681) The syscall table base is a user controlled function pointer in kernel space. Use array_index_nospec() to prevent any out of bounds speculation. While retpoline prevents speculating into a userspace directed target it does not stop the pointer de-reference, the concern is leaking memory relative to the syscall table base, by observing instruction cache behavior.
