Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix __clear_user() with KUAP enabled

The KUAP implementation adds calls in clear_user() to enable and disable
access to userspace memory. However, it doesn't add these to
__clear_user(), which is used in the ptrace regset code.

As there's only one direct user of __clear_user(), and the time taken to
set the AMR for KUAP purposes is going to dominate the cost of a quick
access_ok(), there's not much point having a separate path.
No risk that access_ok() fails ?

There is also a call to might_fault() in clear_user(), isn't it a problem ?

Rename __clear_user() to clear_user_asm(), and make __clear_user() just
call clear_user().

What about changing the above by the following ?

    	if (likely(access_ok(addr, size)))		ret = __clear_user(addr, size);
  	return ret;

static inline unsigned long __clear_user(void __user *addr, unsigned
