4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
Commit 621afc677465db231662ed126ae1f355bf8eac47 upstream.
A mispredicted conditional call to set_fs could result in the wrong addr_limit being forwarded under speculation to a subsequent access_ok check, potentially forming part of a spectre-v1 attack using uaccess routines.
This patch prevents this forwarding from taking place, but putting heavy barriers in set_fs after writing the addr_limit.
Porting commit c2f0ad4fc089cff8 ("arm64: uaccess: Prevent speculative use of the current addr_limit").
