This work tightens the offset mask we use for unprivileged pointer arithmetic in order to mitigate a corner case reported by Piotr and Benedict where in the speculative domain it is possible to advance, for example, the map value pointer by up to value_size-1 out-of-bounds in order to leak kernel memory via side-channel to user space. Before this change, the computed ptr_limit for retrieve_ptr_limit() helper represents largest valid distance when moving pointer to the right or left which is then fed as aux->alu_limit to generate masking instructions against the offset register. After the change, the derived aux->alu_limit represents the largest potential value of the offset register which we mask against which is just a narrower subset of the former limit. For minimal complexity, we call sanitize_ptr_alu() from 2 observation points in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), that is, before and after the simulated alu operation. In the first step, we retieve the alu_state and alu_limit before the operation as well as we branch-off a verifier path and push it to the verification stack as we did before which checks the dst_reg under truncation, in other words, when the speculative domain would attempt to move the pointer out-of-bounds. In the second step, we retrieve the new alu_limit and calculate the absolute distance between both. Moreover, we commit the alu_state and final alu_limit via update_alu_sanitation_state() to the env's instruction aux data, and bail out from there if there is a mismatch due to coming from different verification paths with different states.

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.
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.
