This patch breaks set_selection() into two functions so that when called from kernel, copy_from_user() can be avoided. The two functions are called set_selection_user() and set_selection_kernel() in order to be explicit about their purposes. This also means updating any references to set_selection() and fixing for name change. It also exports set_selection_kernel() and paste_selection(). These changes are used the following patch where speakup's selection functionality calls into the above functions, thereby doing away with parallel implementation.

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.
