In the old days, when we didn't have kernel userspace access protection and had set_fs(), it was wise to use __get_user() and friends to read kernel memory. Nowadays, get_user() is granting userspace access and is exclusively for userspace access. In alignment exception handler, use probe_kernel_read_inst() instead of __get_user_instr() for reading instructions in kernel. This will allow to remove the is_kernel_addr() check in __get/put_user() in a following patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
