Add specific exception handler for copy_to_user() / copy_from_user() mvcos fault handling, which allows to shorten the inline assemblies to three instructions. On fault the exception handler adjusts the length used by the mvcos instruction in a way that the instruction completes with condition code zero, indicating the number of bytes copied with the input/output operand 'size'. This allows to calculate and return the number of bytes not copied, if any, like required. Loop and return value handling is changed to C so that the compiler may optimize the code.

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.
