I've tried making access_ok mask the parameter it gets. Works because
access_ok is a macro. Most users pass in a variable so that will block
attempts to use speculation to bypass the access_ok checks.
Not 100% as someone can copy the value before access_ok, but
then it's all mitigation anyway.
Places which call access_ok on a non-lvalue need to be fixed then but
there are not too many of these.
The advantage here is that a code like this:
access_ok
for(...)
__get_user
isn't slowed down as the masking is outside the loop.
OTOH macros changing their arguments are kind of ugly.
What do others think?
Just to show what I mean:
