commit2a418cf3f5upstream. When calling __put_user(foo(), ptr), the __put_user() macro would call foo() in between __uaccess_begin() and __uaccess_end(). If that code were buggy, then those bugs would be run without SMAP protection. Fortunately, there seem to be few instances of the problem in the kernel. Nevertheless, __put_user() should be fixed to avoid doing this. Therefore, evaluate __put_user()'s argument before setting AC. This issue was noticed when an objtool hack by Peter Zijlstra complained about genregs_get() and I compared the assembly output to the C source.

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.
