3.16.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.willi...@intel.com> commit babdde2698d482b6c0de1eab4f697cf5856c5859 upstream. array_index_nospec() uses a mask to sanitize user controllable array indexes, i.e. generate a 0 mask if 'index' >= 'size', and a ~0 mask otherwise. While the default array_index_mask_nospec() handles the carry-bit from the (index - size) result in software. The x86 array_index_mask_nospec() does the same, but the carry-bit is handled in the processor CF flag without conditional instructions in the control flow.
