Christophe Leroy 547e687b29 powerpc/uaccess: Don't set KUAP by default on book3s/32
On book3s/32, KUAP is an heavy process as it requires to
determine which segments are impacted and unlock/lock
each of them.

And since the implementation of user_access_begin/end, it
is even worth for the time being because unlike __get_user(),
user_access_begin doesn't make difference between read and write
and unlocks access also for read allthought that's unneeded
on book3s/32.

As shown by the size of a kernel built with KUAP and one without,
the overhead is 64k bytes of code. As a comparison a similar
build on an 8xx has an overhead of only 8k bytes of code.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7230416	1425868	 837376	9493660	 90dc9c	vmlinux.kuap6xx
7165012	1425548	 837376	9427936	 8fdbe0	vmlinux.nokuap6xx
6519796	1960028	 477464	8957288	 88ad68	vmlinux.kuap8xx
6511664	1959864	 477464	8948992	 888d00	vmlinux.nokuap8xx

Until a more optimised KUAP is implemented on book3s/32,
don't select it by default.

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.
