Pull spectre/meltdown updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The next round of updates related to melted spectrum:

   - The initial set of spectre V1 mitigations:

       - Array index speculation blocker and its usage for syscall,
         fdtable and the n180211 driver.

       - Speculation barrier and its usage in user access functions

   - Make indirect calls in KVM speculation safe

   - Blacklisting of known to be broken microcodes so IPBP/IBSR are not
     touched.

   - The initial IBPB support and its usage in context switch

   - The exposure of the new speculation MSRs to KVM guests.

   - A fix for a regression in x86/32 related to the cpu entry area

   - Proper whitelisting for known to be safe CPUs from the mitigations.

   - objtool fixes to deal proper with retpolines and alternatives

   - Exclude __init functions from retpolines which speeds up the boot
     process.

   - Removal of the syscall64 fast path and related cleanups and
     simplifications

   - Removal of the unpatched paravirt mode which is yet another source
     of indirect unproteced calls.

   - A new and undisputed version of the module mismatch warning

   - A couple of cleanup and correctness fixes all over the place

  Yet another step towards full mitigation. There are a few things still
  missing like the RBS underflow mitigation for Skylake and other small
  details, but that's being worked on.

  That said, I'm taking a belated christmas vacation for a week and hope
  that everything is magically solved when I'm back on Feb 12th"

Wireless drivers rely on parse_txq_params to validate that txq_params-&gt;ac
is less than NL80211_NUM_ACS by the time the low-level driver's -&gt;conf_tx()
handler is called. Use a new helper, array_index_nospec(), to sanitize
txq_params-&gt;ac with respect to speculation. I.e. ensure that any
speculation into -&gt;conf_tx() handlers is done with a value of
txq_params-&gt;ac that is within the bounds of [0, NL80211_NUM_ACS).

The BPF verifier conflict was some minor contextual issue.

The TUN conflict was less trivial.  Cong Wang fixed a memory leak of
tfile-&gt;tx_array in 'net'.  This is an skb_array.  But meanwhile in
net-next tun changed tfile-&gt;tx_arry into tfile-&gt;tx_ring which is a
ptr_ring.

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode-&gt;i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

syzbot reported a warning from rfkill_alloc(), and after a while
I think that the reason is that it was doing fault injection and
the dev_set_name() failed, leaving the name NULL, and we didn't
check the return value and got to rfkill_alloc() with a NULL name.
Since we really don't want a NULL name, we ought to check the
return value.

When creating a new radio on the fly, hwsim allows this
to be done with an arbitrary number of channels, but
cfg80211 only supports a limited number of simultaneous
channels, leading to a warning.

Fix this by validating the number - this requires moving
the define for the maximum out to a visible header file.
