Dan Williams 092b31aa20 x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Fix copy_to_user_mcsafe() exception handling
All copy_to_user() implementations need to be prepared to handle faults
accessing userspace. The __memcpy_mcsafe() implementation handles both
mmu-faults on the user destination and machine-check-exceptions on the
source buffer. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() wrapper may silently
fallback to memcpy() depending on build options and cpu-capabilities.

Force copy_to_user_mcsafe() to always use __memcpy_mcsafe() when
available, and otherwise disable all of the copy_to_user_mcsafe()
infrastructure when __memcpy_mcsafe() is not available, i.e.
CONFIG_X86_MCE=n.

This fixes crashes of the form:

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
