Hi Randy!

        Good question!  Mainly because that's what the existing __range_ok()
function does: limit is the first *invalid* value, not the last valid
value.

        Say your limit is 0xC000 0000.  You want to be able to write 1 byte to
0xBFFF FFFF.  So it's only outside if val + len > limit.

Yeah, I copied the existing code (but gladly: spaces pushes us onto
another line).  Fixed.

The start < base is optimized out if base is known to be 0 (they're both
unsigned): gcc realizes that can never be true so kills that whole
branch.

We don't really want a branch in this code: __builtin_constant_p()
ensures we end up only with "start - base <= limit - base" or "!
val_outside(limit, start, len)" in the binary.

Oops.  Because I coded this with a "for d in include/asm-*...".

Fixed.

Thanks!
Rusty.

There are some places where we want to check if a value + length is
within a range.  This can be tricky, so it's nice to have a single
routine.

Also, this can be done more efficiently (with arch-dependent) carry
bits, as shown by the __range_ok() implementation on several archs.

This patch exposes arch-specific "val_outside(val, len, limit)" and a
generic "range_within(start, len, base, limit)" function.  As a
side-effect, it fixes the comment in i386/uaccess.h: __range_ok
doesn't test "(u33)addr + (u33)size >= (u33)current->addr_limit.seg",
it tests "(u33)addr + (u33)size > (u33)current->addr_limit.seg".
