user_atom.atom_number can be indirectly controlled by user-space,
hence leading to a potential exploitation
of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/mali_kbase_jd.c:1397 kbase_jd_submit() warn:
potential spectre issue 'jctx->atoms' [r]
katom = &jctx->atoms[user_atom.atom_number];
Fix this by sanitizing user_atom.atom_number
before 'katom = &jctx->atoms[user_atom.atom_number];'.
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

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.
