OK, I will send new patches with what we agreed on, and your comments addressed.

I'm hoping to do that as part of ongoing entry-deasm work, now that a
lot of the prerequisite work was merged in v5.4.

In the mean time, we could add checks around addr_limit_user_check(),
and in the context-switch path. I have some preparatory cleanup to allow
for the context-switch check, which I'll send out at -rc1. That was what
I used to detect the case you reported previously.

Ah, yes, this makes sense. I could certainly factor out C calls in a
better way, or is this something you want to work on?

Without removing these assembly macros I do not think we want to
address this suggestion from Kees Cook:

Sorry, I meant that IRQs are disabled here.

The C wrapper calls __uaccess_ttbr0_enable(), which calls
local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore(). Those are pointless in the
bowels of the entry code, and potentially expensive if IRQ prio masking
is in use.

I'd rather not add more out-of-line C code calls here right now as I'd
prefer to factor out the logic to C in a better way.

That sounds fine to me,

I do not understand, if C function is called form non-preemptible
context it stays non-preemptible. kernel_exit already may call C
functions around the time __uaccess_ttbr0_enable is called (it may
call post_ttbr_update_workaround), and that C functions does not do
explicit preempt disable:

I can do this as a separate patch.

For now, please leave those as-is.

I don't think we want to have out-of-line C wrappers in the middle of
the entry assembly where we don't have a complete kernel environment.
The use in entry code can also assume non-preemptibility, while the C
functions have to explcitily disable that.

We can certainly remove the includes of  elsewhere,
and maybe fold the macros into entry.S if it's not too crowded.

Thanks,
Mark.
