Merge branch 'work.uaccess' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull uaccess unification updates from Al Viro: "This is the uaccess unification pile. It's _not_ the end of uaccess work, but the next batch of that will go into the next cycle. This one mostly takes copy_from_user() and friends out of arch/* and gets the zero-padding behaviour in sync for all architectures. Dealing with the nocache/writethrough mess is for the next cycle; fortunately, that's x86-only. Same for cleanups in iov_iter.c (I am sold on access_ok() in there, BTW; just not in this pile), same for reducing __copy_... callsites, strn*... stuff, etc. - there will be a pile about as large as this one in the next merge window. This one sat in -next for weeks. -3KLoC" * 'work.uaccess' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (96 commits) HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY is unconditional now CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RAW_COPY_USER is unconditional now m32r: switch to RAW_COPY_USER hexagon: switch to RAW_COPY_USER microblaze: switch to RAW_COPY_USER get rid of padding, switch to RAW_COPY_USER ia64: get rid of copy_in_user() ia64: sanitize __access_ok() ia64: get rid of 'segment' argument of __do_{get,put}_user() ia64: get rid of 'segment' argument of __{get,put}_user_check() ia64: add extable.h powerpc: get rid of zeroing, switch to RAW_COPY_USER esas2r: don't open-code memdup_user() alpha: fix stack smashing in old_adjtimex(2) don't open-code kernel_setsockopt() mips: switch to RAW_COPY_USER mips: get rid of tail-zeroing in primitives mips: make copy_from_user() zero tail explicitly mips: clean and reorder the forest of macros... mips: consolidate __invoke_... wrappers ...
