Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit
values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow
the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared
ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to
avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user().
This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other
32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out
architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze,
mn10300, sh.
Credit:
My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and
v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4
I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I
have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine
even if credit should more widely shared.
Changelog:
v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King)
v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King),
used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file),
cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8.
v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)
v1: original
