Dave Hansen found the "(long) addr >= 0" code in the x86-64 access_ok
checks somewhat confusing, and suggested using a helper to clarify what
the code is doing.
So this does exactly that: clarifying what the sign bit check is all
about, by adding a helper macro that makes it clear what it is testing.
This also adds some explicit comments talking about how even with LAM
enabled, any addresses with the sign bit will still GP-fault in the
non-canonical region just above the sign bit.
This is all what allows us to do the user address checks with just the
sign bit, and furthermore be a bit cavalier about accesses that might be
done with an additional offset even past that point.
(And yes, this talks about 'positive' even though zero is also a valid
user address and so technically we should call them 'non-negative'. But
I don't think using 'non-negative' ends up being more understandable).

The intent of the sign games was to not modify kernel addresses when
untagging them. However, that had two issues:
(a) it didn't actually work as intended, since the mask was calculated
as 'addr >> 63' on an _unsigned_ address. So instead of getting a
mask of all ones for kernel addresses, you just got '1'.
(b) untagging a kernel address isn't actually a valid operation anyway.
Now, (a) had originally been true for both 'untagged_addr()' and the
remote version of it, but had accidentally been fixed for the regular
version of untagged_addr() by commit e0bddc19ba95 ("x86/mm: Reduce
untagged_addr() overhead for systems without LAM"). That one rewrote
the shift to be part of the alternative asm code, and in the process
changed the unsigned shift into a signed 'sar' instruction.
And while it is true that we don't want to turn what looks like a kernel
address into a user address by masking off the high bit, that doesn't
need these sign masking games - all it needs is that the mm context
'untag_mask' value has the high bit set.
Which it always does.
So simplify the code by just removing the superfluous (and in the case
of untagged_addr_remote(), still buggy) sign bit games in the address
masking.

The x86 <asm/uaccess.h> file has grown features that are specific to
x86-64 like LAM support and the related access_ok() changes. They
really should be in the <asm/uaccess_64.h> file and not pollute the
generic x86 header.

Every caller passes in zero, meaning they don't want any partial copy to
zero the remainder of the destination buffer.
Which is just as well, because the implementation of that function
didn't actually even look at that argument, and wasn't even aware it
existed, although some misleading comments did mention it still.
The 'zerorest' thing is a historical artifact of how "copy_from_user()"
worked, in that it would zero the rest of the kernel buffer that it
copied into.
That zeroing still exists, but it's long since been moved to generic
code, and the raw architecture-specific code doesn't do it. See
_copy_from_user() in lib/usercopy.c for this all.
However, while __copy_user_nocache() shares some history and superficial
other similarities with copy_from_user(), it is in many ways also very
different.
In particular, while the code makes it *look* similar to the generic
user copy functions that can copy both to and from user space, and take
faults on both reads and writes as a result, __copy_user_nocache() does
no such thing at all.
__copy_user_nocache() always copies to kernel space, and will never take
a page fault on the destination. What *can* happen, though, is that the
non-temporal stores take a machine check because one of the use cases is
for writing to stable memory, and any memory errors would then take
synchronous faults.
So __copy_user_nocache() does look a lot like copy_from_user(), but has
faulting behavior that is more akin to our old copy_in_user() (which no
longer exists, but copied from user space to user space and could fault
on both source and destination).
And it very much does not have the "zero the end of the destination
buffer", since a problem with the destination buffer is very possibly
the very source of the partial copy.
So this whole thing was just a confusing historical artifact from having
shared some code with a completely different function with completely
different use cases.

The old 'copy_user_generic_unrolled' function was oddly implemented for
largely historical reasons: it had been largely based on the uncached
copy case, which has some other concerns.
For example, the __copy_user_nocache() function uses 'movnti' for the
destination stores, and those want the destination to be aligned. In
contrast, the regular copy function doesn't really care, and trying to
align things only complicates matters.
Also, like the clear_user function, the copy function had some odd
handling of the repeat counts, complicating the exception handling for
no really good reason. So as with clear_user, just write it to keep all
the byte counts in the %rcx register, exactly like the 'rep movs'
functionality that this replaces.
Unlike a real 'rep movs', we do allow for this to trash a few temporary
registers to not have to unnecessarily save/restore registers on the
stack.
And like the clearing case, rename this to what it now clearly is:
'rep_movs_alternative', and make it one coherent function, so that it
shows up as such in profiles (instead of the odd split between
"copy_user_generic_unrolled" and "copy_user_short_string", the latter of
which was not about strings at all, and which was shared with the
uncached case).

The old version was oddly written to have the repeat count in multiple
registers. So instead of taking advantage of %rax being zero, it had
some sub-counts in it. All just for a "single word clearing" loop,
which isn't even efficient to begin with.
So get rid of those games, and just keep all the state in the same
registers we got it in (and that we should return things in). That not
only makes this act much more like 'rep stos' (which this function is
replacing), but makes it much easier to actually do the obvious loop
unrolling.
Also rename the function from the now nonsensical 'clear_user_original'
to what it now clearly is: 'rep_stos_alternative'.
End result: if we don't have a fast 'rep stosb', at least we can have a
fast fallback for it.

This does the same thing for the user copies as commit 0db7058e8e23
("x86/clear_user: Make it faster") did for clear_user(). In other
words, it inlines the "rep movs" case when X86_FEATURE_FSRM is set,
avoiding the function call entirely.
In order to do that, it makes the calling convention for the out-of-line
case ("copy_user_generic_unrolled") match the 'rep movs' calling
convention, although it does also end up clobbering a number of
additional registers.
Also, to simplify code sharing in the low-level assembly with the
__copy_user_nocache() function (that uses the normal C calling
convention), we end up with a kind of mixed return value for the
low-level asm code: it will return the result in both %rcx (to work as
an alternative for the 'rep movs' case), _and_ in %rax (for the nocache
case).
We could avoid this by wrapping __copy_user_nocache() callers in an
inline asm, but since the cost is just an extra register copy, it's
probably not worth it.

This is preparatory work for inlining the 'rep movs' case, but also a
cleanup. The __copy_user_nocache() function was mis-used by the rdma
code to do uncached kernel copies that don't actually want user copies
at all, and as a result doesn't want the stac/clac either.

The modern target to use is FSRS (Fast Short REP STOS), and the other
cases should only be used for bigger areas (ie mainly things like page
clearing).
Note! This changes the conditional for the inlining from FSRM ("fast
short rep movs") to FSRS ("fast short rep stos").
We'll have a separate fixup for AMD microarchitectures that have a good
'rep stosb' yet do not set the new Intel-specific FSRS bit (because FSRM
was there first).

Based on a patch by Mark Hemment <markhemm@googlemail.com> and
incorporating very sane suggestions from Linus.
The point here is to have the default case with FSRM - which is supposed
to be the majority of x86 hw out there - if not now then soon - be
directly inlined into the instruction stream so that no function call
overhead is taking place.
Drop the early clobbers from the @size and @addr operands as those are
not needed anymore since we have single instruction alternatives.
The benchmarks I ran would show very small improvements and a PF
benchmark would even show weird things like slowdowns with higher core
counts.
So for a ~6m running the git test suite, the function gets called under
700K times, all from padzero():
<...>-2536 [006] ..... 261.208801: padzero: to: 0x55b0663ed214, size: 3564, cycles: 21900
<...>-2536 [006] ..... 261.208819: padzero: to: 0x7f061adca078, size: 3976, cycles: 17160
<...>-2537 [008] ..... 261.211027: padzero: to: 0x5572d019e240, size: 3520, cycles: 23850
<...>-2537 [008] ..... 261.211049: padzero: to: 0x7f1288dc9078, size: 3976, cycles: 15900
...
which is around 1%-ish of the total time and which is consistent with
the benchmark numbers.
So Mel gave me the idea to simply measure how fast the function becomes.
I.e.:
start = rdtsc_ordered();
ret = __clear_user(to, n);
end = rdtsc_ordered();
Computing the mean average of all the samples collected during the test
suite run then shows some improvement:
clear_user_original:
Amean: 9219.71 (Sum: 6340154910, samples: 687674)
fsrm:
Amean: 8030.63 (Sum: 5522277720, samples: 687652)
That's on Zen3.
The situation looks a lot more confusing on Intel:
Icelake:
clear_user_original:
Amean: 19679.4 (Sum: 13652560764, samples: 693750)
Amean: 19743.7 (Sum: 13693470604, samples: 693562)
(I ran it twice just to be sure.)

their alignments and when the microcode detects that cachelines can be
aggregated properly and copied in bigger sizes.

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.

All copy_to_user() implementations need to be prepared to handle faults
accessing userspace. The __memcpy_mcsafe() implementation handles both
mmu-faults on the user destination and machine-check-exceptions on the
source buffer. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() wrapper may silently
fallback to memcpy() depending on build options and cpu-capabilities.
Force copy_to_user_mcsafe() to always use __memcpy_mcsafe() when
available, and otherwise disable all of the copy_to_user_mcsafe()
infrastructure when __memcpy_mcsafe() is not available, i.e.
CONFIG_X86_MCE=n.
This fixes crashes of the form:

Use the updated memcpy_mcsafe() implementation to define
copy_user_mcsafe() and copy_to_iter_mcsafe(). The most significant
difference from typical copy_to_iter() is that the ITER_KVEC and

In preparation for using memcpy_mcsafe() to handle user copies it needs
to be to handle write-protection faults while writing user pages. Add
MMU-fault handlers alongside the machine-check exception handlers.
Note that the machine check fault exception handling makes assumptions
about source buffer alignment and poison alignment. In the write fault
case, given the destination buffer is arbitrarily aligned, it needs a
separate / additional fault handling approach. The mcsafe_handle_tail()
helper is reused. The @limit argument is set to @len since there is no
safety concern about retriggering an MMU fault, and this simplifies the
assembly.

Quoting Linus:
I do think that it would be a good idea to very expressly document
the fact that it's not that the user access itself is unsafe. I do
agree that things like "get_user()" want to be protected, but not
because of any direct bugs or problems with get_user() and friends,
but simply because get_user() is an excellent source of a pointer
that is obviously controlled from a potentially attacking user
space. So it's a prime candidate for then finding _subsequent_
accesses that can then be used to perturb the cache.
__uaccess_begin_nospec() covers __get_user() and copy_from_iter() where the
limit check is far away from the user pointer de-reference. In those cases
a barrier_nospec() prevents speculation with a potential pointer to
privileged memory. uaccess_try_nospec covers get_user_try.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

operations
The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language.
Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler
instruments only C code.
Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that
userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory.
Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN
sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit
check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the
kernel.

This reorganizes how we do the stac/clac instructions in the user access
code. Instead of adding the instructions directly to the same inline
asm that does the actual user level access and exception handling, add
them at a higher level.
This is mainly preparation for the next step, where we will expose an
interface to allow users to mark several accesses together as being user
space accesses, but it does already clean up some code:
- the inlined trivial cases of copy_in_user() now do stac/clac just
once over the accesses: they used to do one pair around the user
space read, and another pair around the write-back.
- the {get,put}_user_ex() macros that are used with the catch/try
handling don't do any stac/clac at all, because that happens in the
try/catch surrounding them.
Other than those two cleanups that happened naturally from the
re-organization, this should not make any difference. Yet.

The rule for 'copy_from_user()' is that it zeroes the remaining kernel
buffer even when the copy fails halfway, just to make sure that we don't
leave uninitialized kernel memory around. Because even if we check for
errors, some kernel buffers stay around after thge copy (think page
cache).
However, the x86-64 logic for user copies uses a copy_user_generic()
function for all the cases, that set the "zerorest" flag for any fault
on the source buffer. Which meant that it didn't just try to clear the
kernel buffer after a failure in copy_from_user(), it also tried to
clear the destination user buffer for the "copy_in_user()" case.
Not only is that pointless, it also means that the clearing code has to
worry about the tail clearing taking page faults for the user buffer
case. Which is just stupid, since that case shouldn't happen in the
first place.
Get rid of the whole "zerorest" thing entirely, and instead just check
if the destination is in kernel space or not. And then just use
memset() to clear the tail of the kernel buffer if necessary.

copy_to/from_user_nocheck()
Commit ff47ab4ff3cdd "x86: Add 1/2/4/8 byte optimization to 64bit
__copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic" added a "_nocheck" call in between
the copy_to/from_user() and copy_user_generic(). As both the
normal and nocheck versions of theses calls use the proper __user
annotation, a typecast to remove it should not be added.
This causes sparse to spin out the following warnings:

Commits 4a3127693001c61a21d1ce680db6340623f52e93 ("x86: Turn the
copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning")
and 63312b6a6faae3f2e5577f2b001e3b504f10a2aa ("x86: Add a
Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors")
touched only the 32-bit variant of copy_from_user(), whereas the
original commit 9f0cf4adb6aa0bfccf675c938124e68f7f06349d ("x86:
Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for
copy_from_user()") also added the same code to the 64-bit one.
Further the earlier conversion from an inline WARN() to the call
to copy_from_user_overflow() went a little too far: When the
number of bytes to be copied is not a constant (e.g. [looking at
3.11] in drivers/net/tun.c:__tun_chr_ioctl() or
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_inject.c:aer_inject_write()), the
compiler will always have to keep the funtion call, and hence
there will always be a warning. By using __builtin_constant_p()
we can avoid this.
And then this slightly extends the effect of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS in that apart from
converting warnings to errors in the constant size case, it
retains the (possibly wrong) warnings in the non-constant size
case, such that if someone is prepared to get a few false
positives, (s)he'll be able to recover the current behavior
(except that these diagnostics now will never be converted to
errors).
Since the 32-bit variant (intentionally) didn't call
might_fault(), the unification results in this being called
twice now. Adding a suitable #ifdef would be the alternative if
that's a problem.
I'd like to point out though that with
__compiletime_object_size() being restricted to gcc before 4.6,
the whole construct is going to become more and more pointless
going forward. I would question however that commit
2fb0815c9ee6b9ac50e15dd8360ec76d9fa46a2 ("gcc4: disable
__compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") was really necessary,
and instead this should have been dealt with as is done here
from the beginning.

The 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic always called
copy_from_user_generic, but skipped the special optimizations for 1/2/4/8
byte accesses.
This especially hurts the futex call, which accesses the 4 byte futex
user value with a complicated fast string operation in a function call,
instead of a single movl.
Use __copy_{from,to}_user for _inatomic instead to get the same
optimizations. The only problem was the might_fault() in those functions.
So move that to new wrapper and call __copy_{f,t}_user_nocheck()
from *_inatomic directly.
32bit already did this correctly by duplicating the code.

This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
a time. Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).
Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
adds, due to the de-duplication. Also, we no longer export (or define)
the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
the user address space checks are built in to the new code.
Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
address space.

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

Callers of copy_from_user() expect it to return the number of bytes
it could not copy. In no case it is supposed to return -EFAULT.
In case of a detected buffer overflow just return the requested
length. In addition one could think of a memset that would clear
the size of the target object.

In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing copy_user_generic() as a function consisting of
just a single (possibly patched) branch, instead properly deal
with patching call instructions in the alternative instructions
framework, and move the patching into the callers.
As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like
__EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALT() to avoid patching call sites in modules.

On x86-64, copy_[to|from]_user() rely on assembly routines that
never call might_fault(), making us missing various lockdep
checks.
This doesn't apply to __copy_from,to_user() that explicitly
handle these calls, neither is it a problem in x86-32 where
copy_to,from_user() rely on the "__" prefixed versions that
also call might_fault().

This v2.6.26 commit:
ad2fc2c: x86: fix copy_user on x86
rendered __copy_from_user_inatomic() identical to
copy_user_generic(), yet didn't make the former just call the
latter from an inline function.
Furthermore, this v2.6.19 commit:
b885808: [PATCH] Add proper sparse __user casts to __copy_to_user_inatomic
converted the return type of __copy_to_user_inatomic() from
unsigned long to int, but didn't do the same to
__copy_from_user_inatomic().

copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.
This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.
These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.
