This patch adds a skeleton for Kernel Userspace Protection functionnalities like Kernel Userspace Access Protection and Kernel Userspace Execution Prevention The subsequent implementation of KUAP for radix makes use of a MMU feature in order to patch out assembly when KUAP is disabled or unsupported. This won't work unless there's an entry point for KUP support before the feature magic happens, so for PPC64 setup_kup() is called early in setup. On PPC32, feature_fixup() is done too early to allow the same.

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.
