This generates noticeably better code with compilers that support it, since we don't need to test the error register etc, the exception just jumps to the error handling directly. Note that this also marks SW_TTBR0_PAN incompatible with KCSAN support, since KCSAN wants to save and restore the user access state. KCSAN and SW_TTBR0_PAN were probably always incompatible, but it became obvious only when implementing the unsafe user access functions. At that point the default empty user_access_save/restore() functions weren't provided by the default fallback functions. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
