Linus Torvalds fe673d3f5b mm: gup: make fault_in_safe_writeable() use fixup_user_fault()
Instead of using GUP, make fault_in_safe_writeable() actually force a
'handle_mm_fault()' using the same fixup_user_fault() machinery that
futexes already use.

Using the GUP machinery meant that fault_in_safe_writeable() did not do
everything that a real fault would do, ranging from not auto-expanding
the stack segment, to not updating accessed or dirty flags in the page
tables (GUP sets those flags on the pages themselves).

The latter causes problems on architectures (like s390) that do accessed
bit handling in software, which meant that fault_in_safe_writeable()
didn't actually do all the fault handling it needed to, and trying to
access the user address afterwards would still cause faults.

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.
