> Ubuntu's Spectre v1 mitigation is based on the original embargoed patchset which introduced a barrier macro to prevent speculation beyond array boundaries for user controlled indices. What eventually landed in upstream is slightly different and uses a barrier macro in combination with a masking solution (plus syscall table and user pointer sanitation). During the updates to newer stable upstream versions, all those patches were skipped. After reviewing them, we want to bring them back and merge them with the current implementation which brings us back in sync with upstream stable.

Applied to xenial/master-next. I did re-order this set to come before the
4.4.132 stable update we had pulled before as this contains dependencies for
that. Thanks.
