It's possible for userspace to control n. Sanitize n when using it as an array index, to inhibit the potential spectre-v1 write gadget. Note that while it appears that n must be bound to the interval [0,3] due to the way it is extracted from addr, we cannot guarantee that compiler transformations (and/or future refactoring) will ensure this is the case, and given this is a slow path it's better to always perform the masking.

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.
