Alexandre Ghiti af7ca7ad37 riscv: uaccess: Return the number of bytes effectively not copied 
[ Upstream commit 4b05b99390 ]

It was reported that the riscv kernel hangs while executing the test
in [1].

Indeed, the test hangs when trying to write a buffer to a file. The
problem is that the riscv implementation of raw_copy_from_user() does not
return the correct number of bytes not written when an exception happens
and is fixed up, instead it always returns the initial size to copy,
even if some bytes were actually copied.

generic_perform_write() pre-faults the user pages and bails out if nothing
can be written, otherwise it will access the userspace buffer: here the
riscv implementation keeps returning it was not able to copy any byte
though the pre-faulting indicates otherwise. So generic_perform_write()
keeps retrying to access the user memory and ends up in an infinite
loop.

Note that before the commit mentioned in [1] that introduced this
regression, it worked because generic_perform_write() would bail out if
only one byte could not be written.

So fix this by returning the number of bytes effectively not written in
__asm_copy_[to|from]_user() and __clear_user(), as it is expected.

README 

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.
