Currently unsafe_put_user() expands to __put_user_goto(), which expands to __put_user_nocheck_goto(). There are no other uses of __put_user_nocheck_goto(), and although there are some other uses of __put_user_goto() those could just use unsafe_put_user(). Every layer of indirection introduces the possibility that some code is calling that layer, and makes keeping track of the required semantics at each point more complicated. So drop __put_user_goto(), and rename __put_user_nocheck_goto() to __unsafe_put_user_goto(). The "nocheck" is implied by "unsafe". Replace the few uses of __put_user_goto() with unsafe_put_user().

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.
