atm: iphase: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability
board is controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/atm/iphase.c:2765 ia_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'ia_dev' [r] (local cap) drivers/atm/iphase.c:2774 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' drivers/atm/iphase.c:2782 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' drivers/atm/iphase.c:2816 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' drivers/atm/iphase.c:2823 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' drivers/atm/iphase.c:2830 ia_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue '_ia_dev' [r] (local cap) drivers/atm/iphase.c:2845 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' drivers/atm/iphase.c:2856 ia_ioctl() warn: possible spectre second half. 'iadev' Fix this by sanitizing board before using it to index ia_dev and _ia_dev Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
