Subject: [PATCH 4.16 65/72] sched/core: Fix possible Spectre-v1 indexing for sched_prio_to_weight[]

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit 7281c8dec8a87685cb54d503d8cceef5a0fc2fdd upstream.

> kernel/sched/core.c:6921 cpu_weight_nice_write_s64() warn: potential spectre issue 'sched_prio_to_weight'

Userspace controls @nice, so sanitize the value before using it to
index an array.
