commit15420269b0upstream. The helpers that are used to implement copy_from_kernel_nofault() and copy_to_kernel_nofault() cast a void* to a pointer to a wider type, which may result in alignment faults on ARM if the compiler decides to use double-word or multiple-word load/store instructions. Only configurations that define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y are affected, given that commit2423de2e6f("ARM: 9115/1: mm/maccess: fix unaligned copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault") ensures that dst and src are sufficiently aligned otherwise. So use the unaligned accessors for accessing dst and src in cases where they may be misaligned.

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.
