Peter Zijlstra 771c5c0955 x86/uaccess: Don't leak the AC flags into __get_user() argument evaluation
[ Upstream commit 9b8bd476e78e89c9ea26c3b435ad0201c3d7dbf5 ]

Identical to __put_user(); the __get_user() argument evalution will too
leak UBSAN crud into the __uaccess_begin() / __uaccess_end() region.
While uncommon this was observed to happen for:

  drivers/xen/gntdev.c: if (__get_user(old_status, batch->status[i]))

where UBSAN added array bound checking.

This complements commit:

  6ae865615fc4 ("x86/uaccess: Dont leak the AC flag into __put_user() argument evaluation")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
