From fadab0943d1c5b652a66858bb99b204fedaad96b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 19:52:24 +0000 Subject: [ARM] 2948/1: new preemption safe copy_{to|from}_user implementation Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch provides a preemption safe implementation of copy_to_user and copy_from_user based on the copy template also used for memcpy. It is enabled unconditionally when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. Otherwise if the configured architecture is not ARMv3 then it is enabled as well as it gives better performances at least on StrongARM and XScale cores. If ARMv3 is not too affected or if it doesn't matter too much then uaccess.S could be removed altogether.
