unsafe_put_user() is designed to take benefit of 'asm goto'.
Instead of using the standard __put_user() approach and branch
based on the returned error, use 'asm goto' and make the
exception code branch directly to the error label. There is
no code anymore in the fixup section.
This change significantly simplifies functions using
unsafe_put_user()
Small exemple of the benefit with the following code:
struct test {
u32 item1;
u16 item2;
u8 item3;
u64 item4;
};
int set_test_to_user(struct test __user *test, u32 item1, u16 item2, u8 item3, u64 item4)
{
unsafe_put_user(item1, &test->item1, failed);
unsafe_put_user(item2, &test->item2, failed);
unsafe_put_user(item3, &test->item3, failed);
unsafe_put_user(item4, &test->item4, failed);
return 0;
failed:
return -EFAULT;
}

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.
