- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n. This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in
generic code with [unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM
variants provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access helpers
always goes through a local C scope label indirection inside the
helpers. This is required because compilers are not supporting that a
ASM GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but if it
has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is shielded
with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot speculate around the
address range check. Those speculation barriers impact performance quite
significantly. This can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so
it is guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This has
to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency for the
access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
which can be replaced with scopes and automatic cleanup:
scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault)
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
return 0;
Efault:
return -EFAULT;
- Convert code which implements the above pattern over to
scope_user.*.access(). This also corrects a couple of imbalanced
masked_*_begin() instances which are harmless on most architectures, but
prevent PowerPC from implementing the masking optimization.
- Add a missing speculation barrier in copy_from_user_iter()

[ Editor's note: gcc-16 will have fixed the code generation issue
in commit f68fe3ddda4 ("eh: Invoke cleanups/destructors in asm
goto jumps [PR122835]"). But we obviously have to deal with clang
and older versions of gcc, so.. - Linus ]
