This patch reworks the zcrypt device driver so that the set_fs() invocation is not needed any more. Instead there is a new flag bool userspace passed through all the functions which tells if the pointer arguments are userspace or kernelspace. Together with the two new inline functions z_copy_from_user() and z_copy_to_user() which either invoke copy_from_user (userspace is true) or memcpy (userspace is false) the zcrypt dd and the AP bus now has no requirement for the set_fs() functionality any more.

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.
