Sparse reports dereference of a __user pointer. copy_mc_to_user() takes
a __user pointer, verifies it, then calls the generic copy routine
copy_mc_generic().

As we have verified the pointer, cast out the __user annotation when
passing to copy_mc_generic().

This is due to some KUAP enabling/disabling functions being outline
allthough they are marked inline. Use __always_inline instead.

<content type='text'>
Add an option to build kernel and module with prefixed instructions if
the CPU and toolchain support it.

This is not related to kernel support for userspace execution of
prefixed instructions.

Building with prefixed instructions breaks some extended inline asm
memory addressing, for example it will provide immediates that exceed
the range of simple load/store displacement. Whether this is a
toolchain or a kernel asm problem remains to be seen. For now, these
are replaced with simpler and less efficient direct register addressing
when compiling with prefixed.

word-at-a-time.h only need ex_table.h, so include it instead.

it's inline and unlikely() inside of it (including the implicit one
in WARN_ON_ONCE()) suffice to convince the compiler that getting
false from check_copy_size() is unlikely.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Livepatch support for 32-bit is probably the standout new feature,
  otherwise mostly just lots of bits and pieces all over the board.

  There's a series of commits cleaning up function descriptor handling,
  which touches a few other arches as well as LKDTM. It has acks from
  Arnd, Kees and Helge.

  Summary:

   - Enforce kernel RO, and implement STRICT_MODULE_RWX for 603.

   - Add support for livepatch to 32-bit.

   - Implement CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

   - Merge vdso64 and vdso32 into a single directory.

   - Fix build errors with newer binutils.

   - Add support for UADDR64 relocations, which are emitted by some
     toolchains. This allows powerpc to build with the latest lld.

   - Fix (another) potential userspace r13 corruption in transactional
     memory handling.

   - Cleanups of function descriptor handling &amp; related fixes to LKDTM.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:1190: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcix'
  {standard input}:1433: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lwzcix'
  {standard input}:1453: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcix'
  {standard input}:1460: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stwcix'
  {standard input}:1596: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcix'
  ...

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction. Going
through them one by one shows that the changes should be safe.  Like
__get_user_atomic_128_aligned() is only called in p9_hmi_special_emu(),
which according to the name is specific to power9.  And __raw_rm_read*()
are only called in things that are powernv or book3s_hv specific.

<title>uaccess: generalize access_ok()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12700c17fc286149324f92d6d380bc48e43f253d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are many different ways that access_ok() is defined across
architectures, but in the end, they all just compare against the
user_addr_max() value or they accept anything.

Provide one definition that works for most architectures, checking
against TASK_SIZE_MAX for user processes or skipping the check inside
of uaccess_kernel() sections.

For architectures without CONFIG_SET_FS(), this should be the fastest
check, as it comes down to a single comparison of a pointer against a
compile-time constant, while the architecture specific versions tend to
do something more complex for historic reasons or get something wrong.

Type checking for __user annotations is handled inconsistently across
architectures, but this is easily simplified as well by using an inline
function that takes a 'const void __user *' argument. A handful of
callers need an extra __user annotation for this.

Some architectures had trick to use 33-bit or 65-bit arithmetic on the
addresses to calculate the overflow, however this simpler version uses
fewer registers, which means it can produce better object code in the
end despite needing a second (statically predicted) branch.
