mainlining shenanigans
12c89130a5
In preparation for using memcpy_mcsafe() to handle user copies it needs to be to handle write-protection faults while writing user pages. Add MMU-fault handlers alongside the machine-check exception handlers. Note that the machine check fault exception handling makes assumptions about source buffer alignment and poison alignment. In the write fault case, given the destination buffer is arbitrarily aligned, it needs a separate / additional fault handling approach. The mcsafe_handle_tail() helper is reused. The @limit argument is set to @len since there is no safety concern about retriggering an MMU fault, and this simplifies the assembly.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
