mainlining shenanigans
923e1e7d82
We currently have many uaccess_*{enable,disable}*() variants, which
subsequent patches will cut down as part of removing set_fs() and
friends. Once this simplification is made, most uaccess routines will
only need to ensure that the user page tables are mapped in TTBR0, as is
currently dealt with by uaccess_ttbr0_{enable,disable}().
The existing uaccess_{enable,disable}() routines ensure that user page
tables are mapped in TTBR0, and also disable PAN protections, which is
necessary to be able to use atomics on user memory, but also permit
unrelated privileged accesses to access user memory.
As preparatory step, let's rename uaccess_{enable,disable}() to
uaccess_{enable,disable}_privileged(), highlighting this caveat and
discouraging wider misuse. Subsequent patches can reuse the
uaccess_{enable,disable}() naming for the common case of ensuring the
user page tables are mapped in TTBR0.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
