Looks good to me based on my limited understanding. Thomas/Sinclair can could you please review and then we can include this in drm-fixes.
Thanks, Deepak
arg.version is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c:4526 vmw_execbuf_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'copy_offset' [w]
Fix this by sanitizing arg.version before using it to index copy_offset
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].

I must admit my understanding of spectre workings in this case is limited, but why do you need to compare arg.version against ARRAY_SIZE here, when it is already checked against DRM_VMW_EXECBUF_VERSION earlier?
- arg.version = array_index_nospec(arg.version,
ARRAY_SIZE(copy_offset));
- if (copy_from_user(&arg.context_handle, (void __user *) (data + copy_offset[0]), copy_offset[arg.version - 1] - copy_offset[0]) != 0)
Similarly, we want to perform this copy iff arg.version > 1. Why did you remove that check?
Thanks, Thomas
