a7a08b275a arch: remove compat_alloc_user_space
All users of compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() have been
removed from the kernel, only a few functions in sparc remain that can be
changed to calling arch_copy_in_user() instead.

fb05121fd6 signal: Add unsafe_get_compat_sigset()
In the same way as commit 14026b94cc ("signal: Add
unsafe_put_compat_sigset()"), this time add
unsafe_get_compat_sigset() macro which is the 'unsafe'
version of get_compat_sigset()

For the bigendian, use unsafe_get_user() directly
to avoid intermediate copy through the stack.

For the littleendian, use a straight unsafe_copy_from_user().

This commit adds the generic fallback for unsafe_copy_from_user().
Architectures wanting to use unsafe_get_compat_sigset() have to
make sure they have their own unsafe_copy_from_user().

b296a6d533 kernel.h: split out min()/max() et al. helpers
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al.  helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

ec6347bb43 x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()
In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

0c389d89ab maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility
Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault()
and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the
subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly
dangerous.

When you do

        get_user(val, user_ptr);

the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above
basically acts as

        val = *user_ptr;

by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference
is done with a user access).

Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the
pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as
part of the assignment.

So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both
for the access itself.

But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very
differently.  When you do

        get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr);

it behaves like

        val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr;

except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with
exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned
as the error code.

But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially
similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type
the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of
the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely.

Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost
certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this
patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible
with the type of the result.

In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to
make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part.
It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference
is now obvious and explicit.

999a22890c uaccess: Add user_read_access_begin/end and user_write_access_begin/end
Some architectures like powerpc64 have the capability to separate
read access and write access protection.
For get_user() and copy_from_user(), powerpc64 only open read access.
For put_user() and copy_to_user(), powerpc64 only open write access.
But when using unsafe_get_user() or unsafe_put_user(),
user_access_begin open both read and write.

Other architectures like powerpc book3s 32 bits only allow write
access protection. And on this architecture protection is an heavy
operation as it requires locking/unlocking per segment of 256Mbytes.
On those architecture it is therefore desirable to do the unlocking
only for write access. (Note that book3s/32 ranges from very old
powermac from the 90's with powerpc 601 processor, till modern
ADSL boxes with PowerQuicc II processors for instance so it
is still worth considering.)

In order to avoid any risk based of hacking some variable parameters
passed to user_access_begin/end that would allow hacking and
leaving user access open or opening too much, it is preferable to
use dedicated static functions that can't be overridden.

Add a user_read_access_begin and user_read_access_end to only open
read access.

Add a user_write_access_begin and user_write_access_end to only open
write access.

By default, when undefined, those new access helpers default on the
existing user_access_begin and user_access_end.
