Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/tls: Fix possible spectre-v1 in do_get_thread_area()
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 12:50:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1561524630-3642-1-git-send-email-dianzhangchen0@gmail.com> (raw)

The index to access the threads tls array is controlled by userspace
via syscall: sys_ptrace(), hence leading to a potential exploitation
of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
The idx can be controlled from:
        ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> do_get_thread_area.

Fix this by sanitizing idx before using it to index p->thread.tls_array.
