Feng Kan 404268828c arm64: copy_to-from-in_user optimization using copy template
This patch optimize copy_to-from-in_user for arm 64bit architecture. The
copy template is used as template file for all the copy*.S files. Minor
change was made to it to accommodate the copy to/from/in user files.

James Morse 338d4f49d6 arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access Never
'Privileged Access Never' is a new arm8.1 feature which prevents
privileged code from accessing any virtual address where read or write
access is also permitted at EL0.

This patch enables the PAN feature on all CPUs, and modifies {get,put}_user
helpers temporarily to permit access.

This will catch kernel bugs where user memory is accessed directly.
'Unprivileged loads and stores' using ldtrb et al are unaffected by PAN.

Will Deacon 23e9499446 arm64: lib: use pair accessors for copy_*_user routines
The AArch64 instruction set contains load/store pair memory accessors,
so use these in our copy_*_user routines to transfer 16 bytes per
iteration.

Catalin Marinas 0aea86a217 arm64: User access library functions
This patch add support for various user access functions. These
functions use the standard LDR/STR instructions and not the LDRT/STRT
variants in order to allow kernel addresses (after set_fs(KERNEL_DS)).
