The functions probe_kernel_write() and probe_kernel_read() do not modify
the src pointer. Allow const pointers to be passed in without the need
of a typecast.Acked-by: Mike Frysinger

Some archs such as blackfin, would like to have an arch specific
probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write() implementation which can
fall back to the generic implementation if no special operations are
needed.CC: Thomas Gleixner

The following patch changes to use __copy_from_user_inatomic(),
but the passing parameters incorrect:x86: some lock annotations for user copy paths, v3
This fixes the netfilter crash reported by Steven Noonan.

probe_kernel_address() purports to be generic, only it forgot to select
KERNEL_DS, so it presently won't work right on all architectures.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did
manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the
atomic thing.Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on
the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future.(NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on
machines which have too many registers for their own good)[heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: s390 fix]

pka is internally implemented with __get_user. So move the
__user cast into pka.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen
