6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Huacai Chen <redacted> commit 37e57e8ad96cdec4a57b55fd10bef50f7370a954 upstream. Most LoongArch processors are vulnerable to Spectre-V1 Proof-of-Concept (PoC). And the generic mechanism, __user pointer sanitization, can be used as a mitigation. This means to use array_index_nospec() to prevent out of boundry access in syscall and other critical paths. Implement the arch-specific cpu_show_spectre_v1() to show CPU Spectre-V1 vulnerabilites correctly.
