[PATCH 07/13] arm64: uaccess: simplify __copy_user_flushcache()

flat view
STALE2207d

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
Date: 2020-09-25 16:10:34
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Currently __copy_user_flushcache() open-codes raw_copy_from_user(), and
doesn't use uaccess_mask_ptr() on the user address. Let's have it call
raw_copy_from_user(), which is both a simplification and ensures that
user pointers are masked under speculation.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
