Subject: [PATCH] s390/syscalls: add spectre boundry for syscall dispatch table
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:34:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026032404-sterling-swoosh-43e6@gregkh> (raw)

The s390 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 s390 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?
