Now that the uaccess primitives dont take addr_limit into account, we have no need to manipulate this via set_fs() and get_fs(). Remove support for these, along with some infrastructure this renders redundant. We no longer need to flip UAO to access kernel memory under KERNEL_DS, and head.S unconditionally clears UAO for all kernel configurations via an ERET in init_kernel_el. Thus, we don't need to dynamically flip UAO, nor do we need to context-switch it. However, we still need to adjust PAN during SDEI entry. Masking of __user pointers no longer needs to use the dynamic value of addr_limit, and can use a constant derived from the maximum possible userspace task size. A new TASK_SIZE_MAX constant is introduced for this, which is also used by core code. In configurations supporting 52-bit VAs, this may include a region of unusable VA space above a 48-bit TTBR0 limit, but never includes any portion of TTBR1. Note that TASK_SIZE_MAX is an exclusive limit, while USER_DS and KERNEL_DS were inclusive limits, and is converted to a mask by subtracting one. As the SDEI entry code repurposes the otherwise unnecessary pt_regs::orig_addr_limit field to store the TTBR1 of the interrupted context, for now we rename that to pt_regs::sdei_ttbr1. In future we can consider factoring that out.

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.
