Add the following tests: 1. A test with an (unimportant) ldimm64 (16 byte insn) and a Spectre-v4--induced nospec that clarifies and serves as a basic Spectre v4 test. 2. Make sure a Spectre v4 nospec_result does not prevent a Spectre v1 nospec from being added before the dangerous instruction (tests that [1] is fixed). 3. Combine the two, which is the combination that triggers the warning in [2]. This is because the unanalyzed stack write has nospec_result set, but the ldimm64 (which was just analyzed) had incremented insn_idx by 2. That violates the assertion that nospec_result is only used after insns that increment insn_idx by 1 (i.e., stack writes).

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 reStructuredText 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.
