Subject: [PATCH v4 00/14] arm64: Optimise and update memcpy, user copy and string routines

Hi,

This contains an update to the cortex-strings patchset: the
correctness of the fixup routines are improved, with the aim being to
return the exact number of remaining bytes for all copy sizes.
To ensure they are exact - which the current fixups are not for some
copy sizes and are off by a few byes - is an extension to the
original intention of fixing an issue reported by an LTP run last
year, where the fixup routine in v2 of this patchset (which was
importing the cortex-strings memcpy implementation) would over-report
the number of bytes that successfully copied.
Version 3 addressed this but I later found some issues with the fixup
correctness after further testing, and have partially re-written them
here, and addressed some other behaviours of the copy algorithm.

Comments welcome,

Thanks
Oliver

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/cover.1571073960.git.robin.murphy@arm.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/cover.1571421836.git.robin.murphy@arm.com/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200514143227.605-1-oli.swede@arm.com/

Changes since v3:
* Improves the accuracy of the fixups in response to issues that
  arose during futher testing
* Accounts for faults on store instructions on systems with UAO
  enabled
* Expands on comments detailing the implementation

Changes since v2:
* Adds Robin's separate patch that fixes a compilation issue with
  KProbes fixup [1]
* Imports the most recent memcpy implementation by updating Sam's
  patch (and moves this patch to occur after the cortex-strings
  importing so that it's closer to the patches containing its 
  corresponding fixups)
* Uses the stack to preserve the initial parameters
* Replaces the usercopy fixup routine in v2 with multiple longer
  fixups that each make use of the fault address to return the exact
  number of bytes that haven't yet copied.
