7c0f6ba682 Replace <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> globally
This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

6c94f27ac8 arm64: switch to relative exception tables
Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location
and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values.
Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is
also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries
are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting
of the exception table that occurs at build time.

This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which
exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as
shorthands to emit exception table entries.

7bc13fd33a arm64: dcache: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for little-endian CPUs
DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS uses the word-at-a-time API for optimised string
comparisons in the vfs layer.

This patch implements support for load_unaligned_zeropad in much the
same way as has been done for ARM, although big-endian systems are also
supported.

12a0ef7b0a arm64: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions
This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for arm64 using the
same algorithm as ARM. We use the fls64 macro, which expands to a clz
instruction via a compiler builtin. Big-endian configurations make use
of the implementation from asm-generic.

With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user
and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.
