Christoph Hellwig and a few others spent a huge effort on removing
set_fs() from most of the important architectures, but about half the
other architectures were never completed even though most of them don't
actually use set_fs() at all.
I did a patch for microblaze at some

Three architectures check the end of a user access against the
address limit without taking a possible overflow into account.
Passing a negative length or another overflow in here returns
success when it should not.

These two architectures implement 8-byte get_user() through
a memcpy() into a four-byte variable, which won't fit.
Use a temporary 64-bit variable instead here, and use a double
cast the way that risc-v and openrisc do to avoid compile-time
warnings.

The get_user()/put_user() functions are meant to check for
access_ok(), while the __get_user()/__put_user() functions
don't.
This broke in 4.19 for nds32, when it gained an extraneous
check in __get_user(), but lost the check it needs in
__put_user().

sparc64 is one of the architectures that uses separate address
spaces for kernel and user addresses, so __get_kernel_nofault()
can not just call into the normal __get_user() without the
access_ok() check.
Instead duplicate __get_user() and __put_user() into their

From: Arnd Bergmann
The __range_not_ok() helper is an x86 (and sparc64) specific interface
that does roughly the same thing as __access_ok(), but with different
calling conventions.
Change this to use the normal interface in order for consistency as we
clean up all access_ok() implementations.
From: Arnd Bergmann
The way that access_ok() is defined on x86 is slightly different from
most other architectures, and a bit more complex.
The generic version tends to result in the best output on all
architectures, as it results in single comparison against a constant
limit for calls with a kn

Unlike other architectures, the nios2 version of __put_user() has an
extra check for access_ok(), preventing it from being used to implement
__put_kernel_nofault().

Nine architectures are still missing __{get,put}_kernel_nofault:

Before unifying the mips version of __access_ok() with the generic
code, this converts it to the same algorithm. This is a change in
behavior on mips64, as now address in the user segment, the lower
2^62 bytes, is taken to be valid, relying on a page fault for
addresses that a

While most m68k platforms use separate address spaces for user

ones have a TASK_SIZE that is less than the entire 4GB address

arm64 has an inline asm implementation of access_ok() that is derived from
the 32-bit arm version and optimized for the case that both the limit and
the size are variable. With set_fs() gone, the limit is always constant,
and the size usually is as well, so just using the defa

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type

a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before.

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.

test_kernel_ptr() uses access_ok() to figure out if a given address
points to user space instead of kernel space. However on architectures
that set CONFIG_ALTERNATE_USER_ADDRESS_SPACE, a pointer can be valid
for both, and the check always fails because access_ok() returns true

sparc64 uses address space identifiers to differentiate between kernel
and user space, using ASI_P for kernel threads but ASI_AIUS for normal
user space, with the option of changing between them.
As nothing really changes the ASI any more, just hardcode ASI_AIUS
everywhere. K
From: Arnd Bergmann
sh uses set_fs/get_fs only in one file, to handle address
errors in both user and kernel memory.
It already has an abstraction to differentiate between I/O
and memory, so adding a third class for kernel memory fits
into the same scheme and lets us kill off CONFIG_SET_FS.

ia64 only uses set_fs() in one file to handle unaligned access for
both user space and kernel instructions. Rewrite this to explicitly
pass around a flag about which one it is and drop the feature from

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.
This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.
