From b1cd0a14806321721aae45f5446ed83a3647c914 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2018 10:28:12 +0100 Subject: ARM: spectre-v1: use get_user() for __get_user() Fixing __get_user() for spectre variant 1 is not sane: we would have to add address space bounds checking in order to validate that the location should be accessed, and then zero the address if found to be invalid. Since __get_user() is supposed to avoid the bounds check, and this is exactly what get_user() does, there's no point having two different implementations that are doing the same thing. So, when the Spectre workarounds are required, make __get_user() an alias of get_user().
