Commit ddf35cf3764b ("powerpc: Use barrier_nospec in copy_from_user()")
Added barrier_nospec before loading from user-controller 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.
