Similarly to what was done with the memcpy() routines, make copy_to_user(), copy_from_user() and clear_user() also use the Armv8.8 FEAT_MOPS instructions. Both MOPS implementation options (A and B) are supported, including asymmetric systems. The exception fixup code fixes up the registers according to the option used. In case of a fault the routines return precisely how much was not copied (as required by the comment in include/linux/uaccess.h), as unprivileged versions of CPY/SET are guaranteed not to have written past the addresses reported in the GPRs. The MOPS instructions could possibly be inlined into callers (and patched to branch to the generic implementation if not detected; similarly to what x86 does), but as a first step this patch just uses them in the out-of-line routines.

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.
