Prevent speculation on user controlled pointer

[Juerg Haefliger]

== SRU Justification ==
Upstream's Spectre v1 mitigation prevents speculation on a user controlled pointer. This part of the Spectre v1 patchset was never backported to 4.4 (for unknown reasons) so Xenial/Trusty/Precise are lacking it as well. All the other stable upstream kernels include it, so add it to our older kernels.

== Fix ==
Backport the following patches:
x86/uaccess: Use __uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec
x86/usercopy: Replace open coded stac/clac with __uaccess_{begin, end}
x86: Introduce __uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec

== Regression Potential ==
Low. Patches have been in upstream (and other distro kernels) for quite a while now and the changes only introduce a barrier on copy_from_user operations.

== Test Case ==
TBD.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1775137

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
