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 are within that segment but not valid on that CPU. The new version should be the most effecient way to do this, but it gets rid of the special handling for size=0 that most other architectures ignore as well.

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.
