Backported from commitde78a9c42a("powerpc: Add a framework for Kernel Userspace Access Protection"). Here we don't try to add the KUAP framework, we just want the helper functions because we want to put uaccess flush helpers in them. In terms of fixes, we don't need commit1d8f739b07("powerpc/kuap: Fix set direction in allow/prevent_user_access()") as we don't have real KUAP. Likewise as all our allows are noops and all our prevents are just flushes, we don't need commit9dc086f1e9("powerpc/futex: Fix incorrect user access blocking") The other 2 fixes we do need. The original description is: This patch implements a framework for Kernel Userspace Access Protection. Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own implementation by providing setup_kuap() and allow/prevent_user_access(). Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and size and handed over to the two functions. mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as 32-bit. Don't split strings, use pr_crit_ratelimited().

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.
