invalidate_icache_range() works on kernel addresses, and doesn't need uaccess. Remove the code that toggles uaccess_ttbr0_enable, as well as the code that emits an entry into the exception table (via the macro invalidate_icache_by_line). Changes return type of invalidate_icache_range() from int (which used to indicate a fault) to void, since it doesn't need uaccess and won't fault. Note that return value was never checked by any of the callers. No functional change intended. Possible performance impact due to the reduced number of instructions.

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.
