Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@tenstorrent.com> says: This series tries to optimize riscv uaccess by allowing the use of user_access_begin() and user_access_end() which permits grouping user accesses and avoiding the CSR write penalty for each access. The error path can also be optimised using asm goto which patches 3 and 4 achieve. This will speed up jumping to labels by avoiding the need of an intermediary error type variable within the uaccess macros I did read the discussion this series generated. It isn't clear to me which direction to take the patches, if any. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: uaccess: use 'asm_goto_output' for get_user() riscv: uaccess: use 'asm goto' for put_user() riscv: uaccess: use input constraints for ptr of __put_user() riscv: implement user_access_begin() and families riscv: save the SR_SUM status over switches Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250410070526.3160847-1-cyrilbur@tenstorrent.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
