ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types
Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user(). This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other 32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, sh. Credit: My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4 I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine even if credit should more widely shared. Changelog: v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King) v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King), used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file), cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8. v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion) v1: original Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
