The new __must_check annotation on __copy_from_user() successfully
identified some code that has lacked the check since at least
linux-2.1.73:
arch/x86/math-emu/reg_ld_str.c:88:2: error: ignoring return value of \
function declared with 'warn_unused_result' attribute [-Werror,-Wunused-result]
__copy_from_user(sti_ptr, s, 10);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/math-emu/reg_ld_str.c:1129:2: error: ignoring return value of \
function declared with 'warn_unused_result' attribute [-Werror,-Wunused-result]
__copy_from_user(register_base + offset, s, other);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/math-emu/reg_ld_str.c:1131:3: error: ignoring return value of \
function declared with 'warn_unused_result' attribute [-Werror,-Wunused-result]
__copy_from_user(register_base, s + other, offset);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, the get_user()/put_user() helpers do not enforce a return
value check, but actually still require one. These have been missing for
even longer.
Change the internal wrappers around get_user()/put_user() to force
a signal and add a corresponding wrapper around __copy_from_user()
to check all such cases.

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.
