commit6fbcdd5909upstream. Commitddf35cf376("powerpc: Use barrier_nospec in copy_from_user()") Added barrier_nospec before loading from user-controlled pointers. The intention was to order the load from the potentially user-controlled pointer vs a previous branch based on an access_ok() check or similar. In order to achieve the same result, add a barrier_nospec to the raw_copy_in_user() function before loading from such a user-controlled pointer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
