    arm64: uaccess: rename privileged uaccess routines · 923e1e7d
    Mark Rutland authored
    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.
