copy_user_to_xstate() uses __copy_from_user(), which provides a negligible speedup. Fortunately, both call sites are at least almost correct. __fpu__restore_sig() checks access_ok() with xstate_sigframe_size() length and ptrace regset access uses fpu_user_xstate_size. These should be valid upper bounds on the length, so, at worst, this would cause spurious failures and not accesses to kernel memory. Nonetheless, this is far more fragile than necessary and none of these callers are in a hotpath. Use copy_from_user() instead.

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.
