Commit 84624087 upstream. access_ok isn't an expensive operation once the addr_limit for the current thread has been loaded into the cache. Given that the initial access_ok check preceding a sequence of __{get,put}_user operations will take the brunt of the miss, we can make the __* variants identical to the full-fat versions, which brings with it the benefits of address masking. The likely cost in these sequences will be from toggling PAN/UAO, which we can address later by implementing the *_unsafe versions. Reviewed-by:
