Instead of inlining the whole stac/lfence/mov/clac sequence (which also requires individual exception table entries and several asm instruction alternatives entries), just generate "call __get_user_nocheck_X" for the __get_user() cases. We can use all the same infrastructure that we already do for the regular "get_user()", and the end result is simpler source code, and much simpler code generation. It also means that when I introduce asm goto with input for "unsafe_get_user()", there are no nasty interactions with the __get_user() code.

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.
