cover Initial Spectre variant 1 patches

Hi,

This series adds initial support for the Spectre variant 1 workarounds to the kernel. This does _not_ cover the user accessors, which are still in development.

The series adds support for the array_index_mask_nospec() macro, used by generic kernel code to mask out of bounds pointers, and also adds the syscall table hardening.

I believe that the asm should be volatile, otherwise there are cases where the compiler could remove an invocation that's redundant under architectural execution, but required under speculation [1].

With that made volatile:

Thanks,

PATCH 3/3 ARM: spectre-v1: fix syscall entry

Prevent speculation at the syscall table decoding by clamping the index used to zero on invalid system call numbers, and using the csdb speculative barrier.

I *think* you might also need to adjust sys_syscall.

I couldn't find a nice way to avoid dupliacting the body without more ifdeffery, given the nr parameter can't be clobbered.

So modulo sys_syscall, this looks good to me.
