As warned by smatch: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c:1392 dvb_ca_en50221_io_do_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'ca->slot_info' [r] (local cap) There's a potential of using a CAM ioctl for speculation. The risk here is minimum, as only a small subset of DVB boards have CI, with a CAM module installed. Also, exploiting it would require a user capable of starting a DVB application. There are probably a lot of easier ways to try to exploit. Yet, it doesn't harm addressing it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
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.
