arm64 has an inline asm implementation of access_ok() that is derived from the 32-bit arm version and optimized for the case that both the limit and the size are variable. With set_fs() gone, the limit is always constant, and the size usually is as well, so just using the default implementation reduces the check into a comparison against a constant that can be scheduled by the compiler. On a defconfig build, this saves over 28KB of .text. Acked-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
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.
