This re-applies commit b91c1e3e7a6f ("powerpc: Fix duplicate const
clang warning in user access code") (Jun 2015) which was undone in
commits:
f2ca80905929 ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_nosleep()") (Feb 2017)
d466f6c5cac1 ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_nocheck()") (Feb 2017)
f84ed59a612d ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_check()") (Feb 2017)
We see a large number of duplicate const errors in the user access
code when building with llvm/clang:
include/linux/pagemap.h:576:8: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
ret = __get_user(c, uaddr);
The problem is we are doing const __typeof__(*(ptr)), which will hit
the warning if ptr is marked const.
Removing const does not seem to have any effect on GCC code
generation.

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.
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.
