After merging the vfs tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allnoconfig)
failed like this:

arch/x86/include/asm/barrier.h: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/include/asm/barrier.h:41: Error: operand type mismatch for `cmp'
arch/x86/include/asm/barrier.h:41: Error: operand type mismatch for `cmp'

and many more ...

Caused by commit

  e33ea6e5ba6a ("x86/uaccess: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation")

I am not exactly sure why (but reverting it fixes the build).

I have reverted that commit for today.  
Can't reproduce here...  This on top of today's -next seems to build with
allnoconfig here:
I don't know what to tell you ... it still fails for me today.

$ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 10.2.0-9) 10.2.0
$ x86_64-linux-gnu-ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35

and the gcc plugins don't get built for the allnoconfig builds.

BTW, You can't do that because force_user_ptr is only defined for x86 ...

I reverted my Revert commit after I finished linux-next today and built
the x86_64 allnoconfig verion of lib/iov_iter.s:

I don't know if that helps.
