Since its introduction, the UAO enable call was broken, and useless. commit 2a6dcb2b ("arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead of calling them via IPI"), fixed the framework so that these calls are scheduled, so that they can modify PSTATE. Now it is just useless. Remove it. UAO is enabled by the code patching which causes get_user() and friends to use the 'ldtr' family of instructions. This relies on the PSTATE.UAO bit being set to match addr_limit, which we do in uao_thread_switch() called via __switch_to(). All that is needed to enable UAO is patch the code, and call schedule(). __apply_alternatives_multi_stop() calls stop_machine() when it modifies the kernel text to enable the alternatives, (including the UAO code in uao_thread_switch()). Once stop_machine() has finished __switch_to() is called to reschedule the original task, this causes PSTATE.UAO to be set appropriately. An explicit enable() call is not needed. Reported-by:
