uaccess: generalize access_ok()
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.

- * Algorithmically, for __user_ok() we want do:
- * (start < TASK_SIZE) && (start+len < TASK_SIZE)
- * where TASK_SIZE could either be retrieved from thread_info->addr_limit or
- * emitted directly in code.
- *
- * This can however be rewritten as follows:
- * (len <= TASK_SIZE) && (start+len < TASK_SIZE)
- *
- * Because it essentially checks if buffer end is within limit and @len is
- * non-ngeative, which implies that buffer start will be within limit too.
- *
- * The reason for rewriting being, for majority of cases, @len is generally
- * compile time constant, causing first sub-expression to be compile time
- * subsumed.
- *
- * The second part would generate weird large LIMMs e.g. (0x6000_0000 - 0x10),
- * so we check for TASK_SIZE using get_fs() since the addr_limit load from mem
- * would already have been done at this call site for __kernel_ok()
