Both smatch and coverity are reporting potential issues with spectre variant 1 with the 'semnum' index within the sma->sems array, ie: ipc/sem.c:388 sem_lock() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma->sems' ipc/sem.c:641 perform_atomic_semop_slow() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma->sems' ipc/sem.c:721 perform_atomic_semop() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma->sems' Avoid any possible speculation by using array_index_nospec() thus ensuring the semnum value is bounded to [0, sma->sem_nsems). With the exception of sem_lock() all of these are slowpaths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
