[PATCH v11 05/15] x86/uaccess: Add unsafe_copy_from_user() implementation

From: Jens Remus <hidden>
Date: 2025-10-22 14:44:44
Also in: bpf, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Add an x86 implementation of unsafe_copy_from_user() similar to the
existing unsafe_copy_to_user().
