Ard Biesheuvel cbab3cac94 ARM: 9179/1: uaccess: avoid alignment faults in copy_[from|to]_kernel_nofault 
commit 15420269b0 upstream.

The helpers that are used to implement copy_from_kernel_nofault() and
copy_to_kernel_nofault() cast a void* to a pointer to a wider type,
which may result in alignment faults on ARM if the compiler decides to
use double-word or multiple-word load/store instructions.

Only configurations that define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y
are affected, given that commit 2423de2e6f ("ARM: 9115/1: mm/maccess:
fix unaligned copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault") ensures that dst and src
are sufficiently aligned otherwise.

So use the unaligned accessors for accessing dst and src in cases where
they may be misaligned.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
