Convert filldir[64]() from __put_user() to unsafe_put_user()
We really should avoid the "__{get,put}_user()" functions entirely, because they can easily be mis-used and the original intent of being used for simple direct user accesses no longer holds in a post-SMAP/PAN world. Manually optimizing away the user access range check makes no sense any more, when the range check is generally much cheaper than the "enable user accesses" code that the __{get,put}_user() functions still need. So instead of __put_user(), use the unsafe_put_user() interface with user_access_{begin,end}() that really does generate better code these days, and which is generally a nicer interface. Under some loads, the multiple user writes that filldir() does are actually quite noticeable. This also makes the dirent name copy use unsafe_put_user() with a couple of macros. We do not want to make function calls with SMAP/PAN disabled, and the code this generates is quite good when the architecture uses "asm goto" for unsafe_put_user() like x86 does. Note that this doesn't bother with the legacy cases. Nobody should use them anyway, so performance doesn't really matter there. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
