__get_user_[no]check uses temporary buffer of type long to store result of __get_user_size and do sign extension on it when necessary. This doesn't work correctly for 64-bit data. Fix it by moving temporary buffer/sign extension logic to __get_user_asm. Don't do assignment of __get_user_bad result to (x) as it may not always be integer-compatible now and issue warning even when it's going to be optimized. Instead do (x) = 0; and call __get_user_bad separately. Zero initialize __x in __get_user_asm and use '+' constraint for its assembly argument, so that its value is preserved in error cases. This may add at most 1 cycle to the fast path, but saves an instruction and two padding bytes in the fixup section for each use of this macro and works for both misaligned store and store exception.

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.
